Deuteronomy 9:1 to
O Father, there are so many emotions I feel as I read this section. I can’t help but think of how the people will stray and it makes me realize how fickled my heart is. I think of Your love and faithfulness as I read Your promises, and I just want to hide in the warmth that I feel when I read Your wonderful Words of love. When You exhort these people to do those things that assure them of abundant life, beginning with the fear of the Lord, I want to run to You, confess my sins, and abandon all earthly ties. Why, Father, are we so weak, so fickled, so apt to wander like foolish sheep? But these are foolish questions, aren’t they? The answer is sin and the solution is Christ. We are in a battle and the victory is in You and through You. You give us the armor and the sword and the faith. You even give the command – awake! Yes, Father, amen!
