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

I have a Youtube video of me reading the Scripture passage and my comments. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts.

In the song which Moses composed for his farewell address to the people of Israel, he says,
“They have made me jealous with what is no god; they have provoked me to anger with their idols.  So I will make them jealous with those who are no people: I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.”
In Romans 11, Paul references this when he writes,
“So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.”
So, because the Children of Israel worshiped gods which were not gods, gods which were indeed demons, God turned and made those who had not been a people His people.  God has made the Church and called its members His people in order to draw the Children of Israel who rejected Him to Him once more.  However, in that Romans 11 passage, Paul reminds us that we in the Church should not think that what Moses says here regarding worshiping gods other than God does not apply to us.  We too should be careful not to make God jealous by giving what is due to Him to anything which is not God.  Through Jesus, God has given us birth into His family, let us not forget Him and turn to other gods.  We can choose to remain grafted on to the Vine through which we can produce edible fruit, or we can graft ourselves to false vines which will cause us to produce bitter, poisonous fruit.  Moses tells us that none can deliver out of God’s hand.  So, let us choose to rely on Him and shelter in His hand, rather than turn to others and need to seek shelter from His hand.  If we choose the latter, we will discover that there is no shelter to be had.

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