Daily Devotion: Deuteronomy 34:10

By

Deuteronomy 34:10    "And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face"

The Lord took Moses up into the mountaintop and there He showed him the land which had been promised since the days of Abraham. Once Moses saw the land, he died and God buried him there in a place where no one knows.

The children of Israel stayed in that place for thirty days in a state of mourning for Moses. Then they moved on into the land of Canaan under the new leadership of Joshua.

My short devotion this morning is found in God's testimony concerning Moses. "And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face"  To this day, Moses is remembered, not only by Israel but every one who calls themselves a Christian and knows anything about the Bible.

In concluding this study of Deuteronomy, I repeat once again the words of the writer of Hebrews concerning Moses.  "Moses was faithful in all his house." (Hebrews 3:2)  May it be said of all of us that we are faithful unto the Lord.

Psalm 88:1-4  A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. "O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:  (2)  Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;  (3)  For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.  (4)  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength" I've said this before and I will say it again (and probably more times before we get to the end of the Psalms) - I love the Psalms because I can surely identify with them. Most Psalms start in a low place and as the writer expresses his thoughts, the Lord begins to lift him up out of that dry place.  Though this entire Psalm is a fervent cry unto the Lord, the Psalmist tells us specifically in three verses that he cried daily unto the Lord. Just a few Psalms ago, we were reminded that God always hears our prayers. ...

Daily Devotion: Knowing God By Bearing Fruit

By
Some will notice the title is not “Bearing fruit because we know God,” so to avoid getting sidetracked with that, we can start with the fact that we won’t bear any godly fruit unless our heart has been changed and the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Also, to avoid confusion, I’ll be using the terms “bearing fruit,” “good works” and “service” interchangeably.  I took this article’s title from Part 7, of John Piper’s “Look at the Book” session on Colossians 1:9-12. I greatly encourage you to view that short video to get his excellent exposition on this subject.  When I saw the title of the video earlier this year, I got kind of excited because that’s the direction my thinking has gone in the past several years. My thinking was founded Biblically with verses on good works like Matthew 5:16 – “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father, who is in heaven.” But I couldn’t expand it to expla...
