Deuteronomy 4:33

Compare all

31 (for the Lord your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor ^adestroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.

32 “For ^aask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask ^bfrom one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard.

33 ^aDid any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?

34 Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, ^aby trials, ^bby signs, by wonders, by war, ^cby a mighty hand and ^dan outstretched arm, ^eand by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord Himself is God; ^athere is none other besides Him.

36 ^aOut of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

37 And because ^aHe loved your fathers, therefore He chose their¹ descendants after them; and ^bHe brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power,

38 ^adriving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day.

39 Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that ^athe Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

Deuteronomy 4:32-40

The very next step in our thinking has to be, “I have to keep God’s commandments. I have to walk in His ways. I must fear Him and fear disappointing Him.” This should be our only logical spiritual response. It is the only thing that makes any sense. God does make sense; we thank Him; we follow Him; we obey Him; we fear Him. This is the only way it is going to work. Let us go back a couple of chapters in Deuteronomy chapter four:

This is the conclusion that we have to reach by remembering that we were once enslaved to this world, enslaved under Satan the devil, and that by God's hand alone, we were redeemed and brought into the freedom of His way of life. He bought us with His Son's own blood. He kept us alive and thriving. He has brought us to the point where we can see His Kingdom just over the horizon. Just as they were on the banks of the Jordan River and could look across the water and see the glorious land that He had given them. Our only rational response is to do what God says, to live as He has instructed and reverence Him as our God and King.

If this response does not seem rational to us, we are, like the children of Israel proved themselves to be, still carnal. We are thinking like man. It is telling us that we have not given ourselves over to Him fully or enough.
