Deuteronomy 4:1 - 49
Moses continued give his monologue to he people of Israel. In chapter four he stresses greatly on being faithful to the Lord. He reminded them that there was a covenant, there were laws, and there were things that anger the Lord (such as idol worship). But if the people were to only obey these things, if they would only stay faithful to the Lord, then they would be blessed with long lives in the land that the Lord had provided to them.
Moses also tells us that those who break this covenant will be scattered among the nations. They will eventually start worshiping other gods and forget about the Lord.
Even though we might be scattered, one glorious promise still remains: (4:29)
But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.We might be reading the Old Testament here, but that promise is still true to today. The Lord is merciful and forgiving, and He is waiting for us who have scattered to turn back and seek Him. And when we do, if we search with our hearts and souls, He will be there for us to find. Isn't that wonderful?
Proverbs 11:28
Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.It is so hard to have money and not to trust in it, isn't it? Even those of us who have been blessed financially by the Lord and who realize it can still fall into this trap. The Lord loves the poor, for they rely upon Him for everything that comes their way. They are eternally thankful for every day that they manage to make an end meet.
No matter how little or how much money we have, we must still remember that we can't trust in it. It can be gone tomorrow. But the Lord is there for us always, so we should constantly be thankful that he meets (and often exceeds) our needs. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me and my family.
