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. But 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). He is continuing to teach us through his abiding presence in us and through the Spirit, the anointing he has given us (John 16:13; 1 John 2:20, 26-27). And he teaches us most effectively when we put into practice what he has said.

My Prayer...

El Shaddai, God who thundered from Mount Sinai and gave your Law to your servant Moses, I believe you are still speaking today through Jesus. Help me not only to hear his voice, but also to listen to his message, see his life, and put this JESUShaped reality into practice today. Gently correct and lead me 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.
