Deuteronomy 29:1-29
God has done great things for His people – ‘in the land of Egypt… in
the wilderness’(2,5). Acknowledging Him to be the Lord their God, they
were to live in obedience to Him (6,9). The way of obedience is the way
of blessing. Moses warns the people that they must not depart from the
way of blessing. Moses warns the people that they must not depart from
the way of obedience (16-28). Turning away from the Lord leads to
judgment – ‘anger and fury and great wrath’(24-28). There are ‘secret
things’. There are ‘things that are revealed’. Some ‘things’ we will
never understand. These ‘things belong to the Lord our God’. There are
many ‘things’ we have learned and have firmly believed. ‘The things that
are revealed’ are found in ‘the Holy Scriptures.’ Through God’s written
Word, we are brought to ‘salvation’ and we are ‘thoroughly equipped’
for Christian living (29; 2 Timothy 3:14-17).
