Deuteronomy 9-10

I love the way God talks to us.  He shoots straight, pulling no punches.  "You're jumping into the ring with an opponent who is WAY bigger and stronger and smarter than you.  You don't stand a chance."  (Thanks, coach.)

But remember... I AM THE ONE WHO IS FIGHTING FOR YOU!

And what is Israel to do?  What is their part?
Fear the Lord your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, and to worship the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul.  Keep the Lord's commands and statutes I am giving you today, for your own good. (10:12-13).
Read it here.

  1. I love this quality about God as well. He does not *wink* at sin or ask us to pretend hurts don't hurt or that joys aren't joys. He reminds us that He will heal all wounds and coalesce all joys in Christ. He is blunt and He is good. No tame lion do we have in Jesus.
