God's words are life!

God's words are not just idle words for you-they are "life". You can depend upon God's renewal.

"Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants." - Deuteronomy 32:2

Doesn't that sound as though you are about to be so thoroughly soaked with satisfaction you'll never be thirsty again? What beautiful words! Those of us who teach must want to fall on our knees before this verse! Moses has a message that would thoroughly refresh his hearers. Part of this fresh message was the concept of God as our Rock: 

"He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his way are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he." - (Deut. 32:4).

The picture of God as our Rock is firmly embedded in the ground of the Old Testament. Moses says that God is a perfect Rock, a faithful God who does no wrong. He is always right, and we must measure our little ideas of rightness against His eternal truth.

Moses mourned the times the children of Israel rejected the Rock, their Savior, and His ideas of rightness. Deserting the Rock who fathered them, Israel become like other nations whose dependence on lesser rocks had let them down -nations whose rock had sold them. "For their rock is not like our Rock, as even our enemies concede," he reminded them (Deut. 32:31).

Moses sand a fresh song, calling his people to a renewed commitment to the Rock of their salvation. When he had finished he warned,"Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you - they are your life." (Deut. 32:46-47). 

Have you deserted the Rock who fathered you? Return to Him. You can depend upon His renewal!

Lets Pray:

Lord,

Your words are life to me. You are my Rock, and You know what is right for me. I often go my own way, making decisions on my own, neglecting time with You in the Word and in prayer. Thank for the renewal You always give as I return to the Word and read Your instruction and Your promises. You are truly a gentle, nourishing rain on my life.

Amen

With Love,

"B"
