- The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29 – There are things about God that will remain a mystery to us. Things that even if God were to begin to share with us our minds couldn’t even comprehend about Him. What’s so beautiful though is God hasn’t left us without any knowledge of who He is. Scripture has been given to us to reveal some of the attributes of our God. We aren’t left with only a mystery. We see God has a never ending love. We see He’s stronger than the enemy in front of us. We see He wants us. We see He has a plan for us. God has shown us these things, and so much more, about Himself so we can follow His words better. What then is something God has shown you about Himself through scripture and how can that help you in your pursuit of Him? I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1324
- Deuteronomy 29 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: “You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, 3 the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 But to this day the Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear. Deuteronomy 29:2-4 – The people Moses was speaking with had seen a lot. They had seen what God had done in Egypt, from the rivers of blood to the Passover. They had seen the ways God provided for them in the exodus and wilderness like parting the Red Sea and manna from Heaven. They had seen, but Moses says the Lord has closed their eyes from seeing. What is he saying? Moses is pointing out for the people their eyes may have seen all this amazing work God had done for them, they still don’t see God as worth their holy worship. They’ve seen the power, but they still don’t have eyes to see and ears to hear and hearts that understand who God really is in their story. Not because God wouldn’t have given them such things, but they had never asked nor demonstrated with their lives they wanted to follow God like this. They were willing to walk through a parted Red Sea and into a Promise Land, but they weren’t truly willing to follow God. Let’s be followers of God that requests our eyes, ears, and hearts to be open to all that they need to be open to. God has done great things in our midst too and He deserve our holy worship and steadfast following. Let’s not allow the things of this world that has offered us nothing but pain receive our following when Jesus has done so much for us in our story. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2454
