Deuteronomy 4:15 - 5:33
So much good stuff in this section today! I like how verses 32-40 seem to perfectly sum up the Bible. They go through and show the majesty and awesomeness of God, and then give us the direction to just follow Him. That simple.
I also like at the very end of the reading how Moses says in verses 32 and 33 that we just need to obey the Word of the Lord. Don't turn aside to the right or to the left, but do what God has called you to do. When we do this, God will prosper us. It truly is an amazing thing when you walk where God calls you to walk.
Luke 11:5-32
Just to tie into our Old Testament reading today, in verse 28, Jesus says "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
People were ogling over Mary and how blessed she was to have raised Jesus, and He's saying "No, no, no. You've got it all wrong!" (Not really, but in a nutshell) The ones who are blessed are those that are following Jesus and the Father's instructions.
It's neat how when we absorb the Old and New Testaments together, we get a much clearer picture of what it truly means to be a Christian.
Proverbs 8:32-36
Again, a recurring theme is finding the will/instructions of God and following it. Verse 35 says "For whoever finds me [wisdom] finds life and receives favor from the Lord." Find wisdom by finding the will of God, and just do it. Thank you, Nike.
