Bible Text: Deuteronomy 10:1-11
TOPIC: THE WRITTEN LAW AND THE ARK OF WOOD
“I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the chest.” Deuteronomy 10:2, NIV
MESSAGE
One night in 1935, Mayor La Guardia of New York, showed up at a night court in the poorest ward of the city and took over the bench himself.
One case involved an elderly woman who was caught stealing bread to feed her grandchildren. La Guardia said after she pleaded guilty to the crime, “I have to punish you. Ten dollars or ten days in jail.” It was obvious she couldn’t pay, so the judge out of his own pocket paid the fine for her. He gave her the opportunity to pay her debts and start all over again.
After Moses broke the first commandment, God wrote it again on a tablet of stone and also made provision for how it will be kept safe. Beloved, God is always willing to accept His children who come in humility of heart. He knows our weakness and He has made provision for us to be safe in Christ. Hide your life in Christ and you will be able to resist all temptations. What have you done that looks like God cannot forgive you? Run to Him; He will forgive and restore you.
Insight: God’s arms are ready to cuddle us when return to Him.
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to know and appreciate my inheritance in Christ.
RBT Passage: 1 Corinthians 14-16
