TRUE TO A GREAT HERITAGE LESSON TEXT: Deuteronomy 4:1. 3340 MEMORY SELECTION: Ha hath mada hi» wonderful work* to be rvinxmbored—Paalm 111.4. A goodly heritage li the gift of God to his people. By faith they must enter Into it and possess it. Thus they honor him who has promised. end they witness to all the earth that he Is a great God and a loving heavenly Father. It magnifies his name to believe on his word and to act on his promises. Israel, having failed God and plunged themselves into years of wandering by their unbelief when they Just came up to the Promised Land, were now ready to go over Jordan and take the land. A new generation had grown up, and for their instruction Moses rehearsed the history of the people, repeated the promises of God, and renewed their remembrance of his law. The book of Deuteronomy gives that "second law" — actually a review of what bad been given before. As they entered upon God’s rich heritage for them they were admonished to I. Hearken to God’s Law (v. 1). To hearken means more than to hear and forget. It carries with it the giving of attention to what is heard with the purpose ot doing something about it. God’s law. his statutes and Judgments are for the good of his people. They are not designed to limit their freedom, but to provide the channels through which they shall be most free to live and to accomplish that which is good and noble and useful. Two things were assured to Israel if they hearkened to the law of God. They would first of all "live.’’ This does not mean only that they should escape death, but that they might enter into the fullness of life. ’The Bible teaches that we are free to choose between a high grade of life or a low grade, between a life which involves fellowship with God or a daily existence which means nothing more than the enjoyment of animal comforts and following our own willful ways" (Earl L. Douglass). The second result of obeying God's law would be their going into and possessing the land which God gave them. There is victory and attainment, as well as blessed fellowship for the one who obeys God. That is true today as it was in the time of Moses. 11. Remember Gad's Lave (vv. 32-36). The loving mercies of God toward hil people had revealed his infinite greatness and glory. He revealed himself in the fire—and they might well have been consumed by it—yet he graciously spoke to them instead of destroying them. They were to recall, too, that lie had done a mighty and wonderful thing in taking them out of the powerful hand of Egypt and making them into a people for his name. Sad Is the state of the soul of the man who has lost his sense of the miraculous. To live in the midst ot the constant demonstration of God's power and his mercy, and to see and feel nothing but the commonplace touch of humdrum daily life, is to tee blind and deaf—yes, to be dead spiritually. Is he any less powerful today? Certainly notl He is still the God of the miraculous and nowhere Is that divine energy more widen, than In the spiritual life of man. The wonders of God in creation were rehear d for Israel. They learned of Ms care for his people. "But far more wonderful are the works of God in the new creation and Ms Infinite care for his people redeemed from a ruined race, and made inheritors of eternal residence in the heavenly Canaan’’ (Hight C. Moore). Ul. Depend ea God’i Premise (vv. 37-40). The Promised Land was before them, but it was for them to go in end possess it. There were warfare and struggle ahead, mighty warlike peoples to overcome. Were they able for it? No, not to their own strength! How were they to accomplish this formidable task? By counting on God. He had promised to drive out the nations now holdlug the land. He is a God not only to heaven, hen also on earth <v. 30). The people who believe him may go forward expecting miracles to happßn. Obedience to God's law brings fellowship with the eternal and omnipotent One. and the confident assurance that he will bring victory ftfid th* full aecompliahnMnt et his Will LOF tllC ©uCuldJt That is as true now as ever. Yes. tot s be accurate and aay that tt «• moire true tnan ever, mr oeiievers now are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God who mates real in and through them all the frees ate < i teeuty and power of God. |gg’ "
