Day 312 - Deuteronomy Monday (Chapters 10-12)
“You shall therefore keep the whole commandment that I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and take possession of the land that you are going over to possess, and that you may live long in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Deuteronomy 11:8-9 ESV)
“Soon the Israelites will cross the Jordan River to the land God had promised to Abraham so many years before. We can almost hear the cries of thanksgiving. Yet Moses’ warning is stern. Even today, though we have the Bible and know its teaching, we fail to heed it.” (The Lutheran Study Bible, CPH, 2009, page 1030)
We do have so many blessings showered upon us from the hand of the Lord. Above all, He has promised us our own land flowing with milk and honey, our eternal home in heaven.
May we listen to God’s Word and follow its teaching as we rejoice in His mercy and grace.
Heavenly Father, thank You for guaranteeing me a land of eternal milk and honey with You in heaven. Please keep me faithful to You and active in Your service until them. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
Pastor David Paape
