This Is A Warning

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Deuteronomy 28:58-63

Just as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good and multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you. —Deuteronomy 28:63

My wife purchased a birthday card containing these words from a paraphrase: “The Lord has rejoiced over you and has done such wonderful things for you” (Deut. 28:63 TLB). It was such a beautiful thought that she turned to the passage to read more.

She found that the words printed on the card were only part of one sentence in a section where God warned His people what would happen if they turned away from Him and disobeyed His commands. The entire verse reads, “Just as the Lord has rejoiced over you and has done such wonderful things for you and has multiplied you, so the Lord at that time will rejoice in destroying you; and you shall disappear from the land” (Deut. 28:63 TLB).

Now that would be an unusual birthday greeting!

The experience reminded me how easy it is to select pleasant phrases from the Bible while ignoring their context and meaning. Today’s passage is a warning from God to His people. It is worth pondering for what it is—an expression of certainty as firm in the spiritual realm as the law of gravity in the physical realm.

The Bible contains words of encouragement as well as words of warning. It’s important to appreciate both for their instruction in our walk with Christ.

God’s Word provides the nourishment
That every Christian needs to grow;
Supplying strength from day to day
By teaching what we need to know.  —Sper

The more we meditate on the Scriptures, the closer we’ll walk with the Savior.

Bible in One Year:   Deuteronomy 28-29; Mark 14:54-72

The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.
