Deuteronomy 27-28

Memorial Day!  Lot's of picnics with family and friends.  God held a similar event in Deut 27:1-8.  God and His people celebrating their relationship with a meal ... "eat and rejoice in the presence of the Lord your God."

Then the promise of blessing and reward for following the Lord vs. the promise of discipline for disobeying and going astray.  There's no middle ground.

Read it here.

  1. Good on you blogging on Memorial Day and at 4 am nonetheless.

    I love that the Bible puts forth the imagery of a feast/picnic with God for all those who worship Him in passages like this and Revelation 19 with the glorified Lamb's wedding. It is a stark contrast against the eat, drink for tomorrow we die mentality of lawlessness which ends in the feast of the flocks of the air in Revelation 19.

    I'm glad that by grace I am headed to the former and not the latter.
