The Law as Revelation

The Inescapable God
God Reveals

 
Deuteronomy 29:25-29 (the Message)
 25-28 Your children will answer, "Because they abandoned the Covenant of the God of their ancestors that he made with them after he got them out of Egypt; they went off and worshiped other gods, submitted to gods they'd never heard of before, gods they had no business dealing with. So God's anger erupted against that land and all the curses written in this book came down on it. God, furiously angry, pulled them, roots and all, out of their land and dumped them in another country, as you can see."
 29 God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation.

For Reflection What is the Revelation which is spoken of in these passages?  What does it have to say about the sovereignty of God?  What does it have to say about the limits of our sovereignty? How do we attend to the terms of our God's covenant?

Pray
Pray that we repeat the sins of our ancestors. Pray for guidance in obedience to the law of the Covenant.
