God
has done great things for His people - ‘in the land of Egypt... in the
wilderness’(Deuteronomy 29:2,5). Acknowledging Him to be the Lord their God, they were
to live in obedience to Him (Deuteronomy 29:6,9). The way of obedience is the way of
blessing. Moses warns the people that they must not depart from the way
of blessing. Moses warns the people that they must not depart from the
way of obedience (Deuteronomy 29:16-28). Turning away from the Lord leads to judgment -
‘anger and fury and great wrath’(Deuteronomy 29:24-28). There are ‘secret things’.
There are ‘things that are revealed’. Some ‘things’ we will never
understand. These ‘things belong to the Lord our God’. There are many
‘things’ we have learned and have firmly believed. ‘The things that are
revealed’ are found in ‘the Holy Scriptures.’ Through God’s written
Word, we are brought to ‘salvation’ and we are ‘thoroughly equipped’ for
Christian living (Deuteronomy 29:29; 2 Timothy 3:14-17).
