Contents
Subject: Promise and Wail
Verse: Deuteronomy 1:34-46
I pray that today will be a time of abundant blessings promised to all the saints who open their hearts to God and humbly seek grace. Today, by understanding the book of Deuteronomy, I am going to tell you about the blessing of the people who know God's providence over history and live by faith. Sometimes we have the thought, “Why do we need to find a church with faith?” You may have doubts about whether faith is a guaranteed blessing. The book of Deuteronomy is thought to be a record that helps people who have such thoughts know the world of life. This is because, among the records passed down through Moses, the book of Deuteronomy is a book that talks about the means of God's rule. If we can understand this book of Deuteronomy right away, we will be able to accept the life of a believer in God very easily.
The Bible speaks of God as righteous. The theory of Deuteronomy refers to the clear declaration that a just God blesses the righteous and punishes the wicked and unrighteous. This theory of Deuteronomy has been applied throughout the Old and New Testaments without fail. That important fact is described in the Bible today as a life of grace called promise and a life of punishment called wailing.
Among the kings of Judah, there was a man named Uzziah who was righteous in the sight of the Lord God. He has served God for a long time and has ruled the people well. But one day, I made a mistake. According to the law of Moses, only priests were allowed to enter the temple and burn incense. As a result, Uzziah was punished by becoming a leper. On the other hand, there is a king named Manasseh, who is famous for being evil. He was an evil king in the sight of God, who systematically led to idolatry. He himself worshiped idols, and he killed many believers who did not follow him. According to one theory, the prophet Isaiah was also killed by this evil king. However, when he became a Babylonian captive at the end of the day, he repented of his mistakes and returned to God, and these are representative people who have been given the grace to rule his kingdom again. We need to have a deep understanding of the two lives that Deuteronomy gives us here: the promise and the weeping.
Because we still believe in the providence of God who has not changed. We are the saints waiting for the blessing of the promise. We long for God's love and grace. We pray for prosperity and peace in the country.
We are praying for abundant grace for the health and life of the family. Saints are people who wait for the blessings promised in the Bible. The gift of the Holy Spirit, the spiritual grace of heaven, and blessings for physical health and life, I firmly believe that God is the giver of the promises in the Bible. We are now praying for that blessing to overflow into our lives.
We hate the punishment of weeping. I don't want to be a person of punishment. But obviously, there are people of promise and people of weeping in the Bible today. Who is the promised people and who is the weeping people? Now is the time for Israel to march into the wilderness. We must march towards the Promised Land. Then God spoke to Moses. Only Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun will enter the Promised Land, and only children and children who cannot distinguish between good and evil will inherit the Promised Land.
They said it was because they obeyed the Lord. But what of those who were disobedient? He told you to be humble and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea. So they didn't listen, they took their weapons and went up to the mountain to fight.
They disobeyed God and were chased by the Amorites living in the mountains. They are being chased from Mount Seir to Horma, and they are greatly defeated. Then they wept before God, but the Lord did not listen. The blessing of the promise and the punishment of weeping in today's Bible are words that confirm the providential facts of God revealed in Deuteronomy. Promises and punishments remain unchanging historical laws as God's righteous providence.
For those who have faith that they will obey and live according to God's will, they believed and obeyed the promise in any age and in any life. No matter how the times change, faith cannot change. As long as God does not change, God's promises in history will not change either. Even if trials come our way, we must believe in his promises. The country is changing terribly. I believe that the way to survive in this ever-changing world needs to be changed to fit the world. But, saints! God has not changed and his promises have not changed.
Now we must have faith to wait for the grace of the promise. I pray that your shining eyes will be filled with the light of passionate passion for God. Those eyes of faith will surely find the way of promise. And I believe that the help of the Holy Spirit who works to make it all the way will be with you. It is God's plan and blessing for the people who believe in the promise. I wish you all the saints who enjoy this great blessing.
