Deuteronomy Monday (CHAPTER 20-22)
“So you shall purge the evil from your midst.” (Deuteronomy 22:21 ESV)
In these chapters God is giving His people directions on how to live in the promised land. We find the stoning of a rebellious son and adulterers to be harsh. Yet God had a very good reason. He wanted to protect them from evil and keep them close to Him.
Today many people are content to put up with, and even indulge in evil activity. In fact, our sins put all of us in that category. Since no one is able to live a perfect and evil-free life, God sent us a helper named Jesus. It is Jesus who purged evil from all believers when He died on the cross.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for purging my sins and making me holy in the sight of God the Father. Help me to walk in Your ways to the glory of Your holy name. Amen.
Pastor David Paape
