Deuteronomy 29:29

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, 

but the things revealed belong to us and to our 

children for ever, that we may follow all the words of this law.

                                                                                       Deuteronomy 29:29

I have chosen this verse to study today because I believe that it shows what God expects us to know, and how He expects us to live. It is found in the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy.  However, the principle of this verse is found throughout the New Testament.

The book of Deuteronomy 29 speaks to the terms of the covenant between the Lord God and the Israelites. In 29:14 and 15, it is clear that this covenant was not only for the Israelites of that day, but for generations of God's people that follow.

If anyone, then, knows the good they ought 

to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.

                                                          James 4:17

These two verses clearly state what God, our Father, expects of us. He gave us His word to live by, to obey; and we are held accountable to that very word. He, and only He, sits in judgment.  This should be very clear to us. If there is any question as to what we should do in any circumstance, we have only to go to His word for the answer.


Thank you for following God's Grace, and God bless you.
