Deuteronomy 29
WALKING IN GOD’S PRESENCE
Forty years on, and this is what Moses said: “You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. But to this day the Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear.” (Deuteronomy 29 v 2 – 4 ESV).
You would have thought that in literally walking with the LORD for forty years, seeing his signs and wonders, hearing his voice, having the amazing example and teaching of Moses on tap, that they would have changed. And maybe they did, but not from their hearts. Moses said later, “For I know how rebellious and stubborn you are. Behold, even today while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against the Lord. How much more after my death!” (Deuteronomy 31 v 27 ESV).
Let us make sure that our journey though life is a journey of transformation. Let’s make sure that the presence of God in our lives is not wasted, but that it changes our hearts and minds so that our eyes and ears are open to come to know and honour him.
May we see the hand of God in our lives and respond to him this week.
With love in our Lord

LAST THEE DAYS! If you haven’t got your copy of the The Story of the Song of Solomon yet, now is your last chance. Don’t miss out! We are in the last three days of the free download.
The Story of the Song of Solomon
The Song of Solomon can seem like a difficult book to understand. It is written as a song and a play all in one. It was probably one of the very first operas! One of the problems we have in reading the Song is that there are no stage directions, instruction or narration. All we have are the words that are being sung by who knows who. As a result, there are many of interpretations of the Song of Solomon and a lot of confusion around it.
I have tried to look at the Song to glean the story from it as we would if we were reading the script from a play or opera. If we can understand the story that is being sung and acted as we read it, then we will also be able to understand more of what the Song means to us in our relationships with our husbands and wives, and in our personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
