Deut 13:4a It is the LORD your God you must follow….
The part of Deut 13:4 that really grabs me is the very last part, “…hold fast to Him.” It brings to mind the song “On Christ the solid Rock I Stand.” The words immediately following the title verse are “…All other ground is sinking sand.”
Deut 13:4b …and Him you must revere….
That is such an apt description of current times. Every time I hear the news or see an article or social media post, it feels startling and unsettling, a world of sinking sand. But I am not depending on the world. I am holding fast to God, standing firm on the Solid Rock. Thank You, Jesus.
Deut 13:4c …Keep His commands and obey Him….
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for Your sovereignty, no matter the condition of this world. Thank You for the reminder to hold fast to You, that You are our Refuge and Strength. Thank You that we can say with certainty, “He is risen. He is risen indeed.” Draw us closer. Amen.
Deut 13:4d …serve Him and hold fast to Him.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
