He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, right and just is He. Deuteronomy 32:4
The book of Deuteronomy contains the code for a divinely sanctioned theocracy. Code is a system for communication and a means of perfect connection between God and man. This code (sometimes referred to as law) sets a high value on human life, points to God and His love and man’s love toward one another. God’s design is for man to follow Him alone, but because of sin, man has become slave to man.
Chapter 32 is a song composed by Moses, as a means to perpetuate God’s sovereignty on the hearts of His people for all generations and to all nations. God knows that His covenant people, will become rebellious. The song reminds them of God’s Holiness and perfect love, but the verses and song continue to tell the consequences of treachery toward their creator. However, God is forever in the forgiving, redeeming and restoring business.
The One who created us knows we are not perfect. He is aware of our weaknesses, but they are never to be our excuses because His Holiness is sufficient to sustain us and make us what we were designed to be.
Love,
