Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Moses made this promise as the great leader God used to deliver Israel from Egypt and through the wilderness wanderings and struggles. They worried about an uncertain future with insurmountable challenges. Jesus came as that prophet like Moses (Acts 3:22, 7:37). He taught us and demonstrated God's truth as he fulfilled the Law God had given through Moses (Matthew 5:17) and brought us grace and truth (John 1:17). He taught us with his words recorded in the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. He taught us through his example, through the deeds he did as Immanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23), as he was among people like us. He is continuing to teach us through his abiding presence in us and through the Spirit, the anointing he has given us to know everything about him (John 16:13; 1 John 2:20, 26-27). And he teaches us most effectively when we put into practice what he has said. Yes! The Lord God raised up a prophet like Moses, but one even greater than Moses: Jesus our Lord.

My Prayer...

El Shaddai, God who thundered from Mount Sinai and gave your Law to your servant Moses, I believe you still speak today through Jesus - the new Moses, but even greater than Moses. Help me not only to hear his voice, but also to see his life, and put this JESUShaped reality he is calling me to take on into practice in my life today. O God, please correct me gently and lead me strongly in the way of obedience so that I may more perfectly glorify you with the worship of my daily life. Through the mighty name of Jesus, I live and pray. Amen.
