DEUTERONOMY 5-6:
Yesterday we heard Moses expound on the most
important command to never worship any idol or any god other than
the Lord. He based this on the Israelite's experience of hearing
God's voice and not seeing his form. Moses was realistic and knew
that Israel would eventually leave God and that God would judge
them. He gave them this amazing promise: “from there (where you
have been exiled by your enemies) you will search again for the
LORD your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and
soul, you will find him.”
PSALM 52:
This is another psalm from David's experiences.
He was betrayed by a man called Doeg, and then that man killed
priests who had done nothing wrong. This psalm stands as testimony
that God notices such things and will eventually bring just
punishment for all injustice.
ACTS 9a:
In
chapter 8, we heard the fantastic way the Lord led Philip. The Lord
wanted a certain Ethiopian high official to be saved. The
traditional church in Ethiopia still traces its history to that
official. And Philip had the privilege of being miraculously
teleported to a new location. He continued from there in preaching
the Gospel, all the way to Caesarea, which is where we find him
later.
