February 28, 2018 Bible Study — Obeying God Because We Remember What He Has Done

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 3-4.

    Moses finished recounting the events which the people had experienced between the time they left Mt. Sinai until they arrived east of the Jordan. He expressed how deeply he desired to enter the Promised Land while explaining how God had denied him the privilege because of his reactions to the stresses the people had put him under. Which led him to remind them of the importance of obeying God’s commands. Obeying God’s commands will cause those around us to honor God. One thing which helps us to obey God’s commands is remembering the things He has done, especially our first experience with His power and glory. That first experience with God’s power and glory shaped how He taught us His commands. We must be careful not to substitute some image or object for the glory of God’s true presence.
