I've been reading the book of Deuteronomy.
In short, the book focuses on God's instructions to His people before they entered the Promised Land.
The message is straightforward: obey and be blessed, disobey and be cursed.
As you read the book, it's easy to see parallels to our own day.
It even anticipates the danger of prosperity...
...people will forget God, become proud, and forsake His commandments (Dt.8)... leading to judgments... which include confusion, pestilence and oppression (Dt.28).
Now if you take these words seriously, you shouldn't be surprised at all by what's happening in our country today.
For years we've been telling God as a nation we don't need Him or His law.
So now He is bringing us low with lawlessness and bewilderment, that we'd discover we DO need Him and need to return to Him.
And in this there is hope...
For He promises... if we search for Him with all our heart and soul, we will find Him, because He is a compassionate God (Dt.4:29-31).
So in these troubling days, be aware:
God is at work... illustrating the truth of His Word before our eyes.
And He is giving us occasion to know that He alone is God... that we'd return to Him and follow Him... and be in the position to extend the promise of blessing belonging to those who bring His dominion to the world.
Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other (Dt.4:39).
Get Dominion,
