Text: Deuteronomy 30:1-29
One of the consequences of continuing in sin is being cast away from God’s fellowship. But when His people realise how far they have gone, Moses encourages them to return to Yahweh, and He will bring them back into His blessed presence. Those who belong to Him have His Word in their hearts, and they can cry out for reconciliation, and He will answer.
Before we come to Jesus Christ for salvation, we are like Israel long ago, wandering, exiled in the world (v1). But the Holy Spirit comes to us, dwells within us, unites us to Jesus, thus giving us new life. And if you find yourself continuing in sin, and you sense you are drifting from the Lord, cry out for help, and He will deliver you. It’s a painful process, but you will always be grateful.
Meditate, on verses 11 – 14. What is God teaching you in these verses?
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, thank You for Your Word which is in my heart and my mouth. Amen.
