Topic: Message From Moses
Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 30:11-18 (KJV)
11For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
13Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
KEY VERSE: “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil” (Deuteronomy 30:15).
Message
Obedience to God is known to attract blessings but man is often bent on disobeying Him. Hence, Elmer G. Klasson says, “There was happiness in the Garden of Eden until wrong choices in obedience were made. Fear and insecurity came into this world when Eve listened and saw what most women today see on television, was deceived by Satan, made a wrong choice in obedience and brought upon her and all women the curse of pain in childbearing.” Moses presented before the Israelites with clear choices: life and good, or death and evil.
He reminded them that God’s commandments are not impossible to follow, but are instead near to them, in their mouths and hearts. He urged them to love and obey God and to walk in His ways. If they did, they would live and multiply, and God would bless them in the land they were about to enter. However, if they turned away from God and worshipped other gods, they would surely perish. Beloved, today’s study emphasises the importance of obedience to God’s commandments and the consequences of disobedience. What is your choice?
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord Jesus, help me to make the right choice.
CHALLENGE
Surrender your life to Christ.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
