I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Deuteronomy 32-34.

    The people of Israel belong to God, they are His special possession among the people’s of this earth. Despite the many things He has done for them, time and again they have turned to other gods. They have chosen to place their priorities on things which are not God. In response God has raised up peoples and nations against the people of Israel to show them the error of their ways. He has repeatedly held back from destroying them because their enemies would fail to recognize His role in their fall.
    There are many ways in which Moses’ song in this passage can be applied to those who have chosen to follow Christ. We too have been selected by God to be His special possession among the people of this earth. We too have witnessed God’s many marvelous acts on our behalf. Finally, we too have become fat and complacent when God has blessed us. We have turned from God and sought other things in His place. And we have learned that there is no god other than God. Let us return to loving God once more (if we have not already done so) and rejoice as He brings justice to the earth.
