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

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE:

A group of military Officers are standing around talking when a Lieutenant said,
"I feel that making love is 80% fun and 20% work."

Captain responded by saying,
"No, I think that making love is more work than that. I would say that it is 60% fun and 40% work."

Then a Major says,
"No, making love is definitely way more work than that. I would say that it is 20% fun and 80% work."

They are all contemplating these revelations when a private walks by.

The officers call the Private over to ask his opinion.

The Major says, "Excuse me, Private, we are having a discussion and would like your input. The Lieutenant says that making love is 80% fun and 20% work. The Captain says that making love is 60% fun and 40% work. I say that making love is 20% fun and 80% work.

Private, what is your opinion?"

The Private smiles and says, "Sir, you are all wrong. Making love must be 100% fun because if there was any work involved, you would have the enlisted men doing it for you."
