See now that I myself am he! There is no god besides me

“See now that I myself am he!  There is no god besides me. Du 32:39

Thought on Deuteronomy Chapter 32

When I opened up to read this chapter to read, the verse seemed to be assimilated in a pattern that resembles poetry writing. It is beautiful! No wonder why it said “song’s of Moses” at the bottom of previous chapter (Du 31).

Listen, you heavens, and I will speak;

    hear, you earth, the words of my mouth.

2 Let my teaching fall like rain

    and my words descend like dew,

like showers on new grass,

    like abundant rain on tender plants.

I noticed such a divine authority and power in Moses word when he spoke to the heaven and earth to hear his word. Order!

3 I will proclaim the name of the Lord.

    Oh, praise the greatness of our God!

4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect,

    and all his ways are just.

A faithful God who does no wrong,

    upright and just is he.

Truthfully to understand, believe and say God is just in all he has does only come through revelation by the holy sprit. You think of many thing went wrong in life and really wonder if God is Just.  You might question if God is just why all the unjust things happened? I mean really! I have asked these sorts of questions many times in my life and I didn’t just want to hear some mare words that would “comforting” or give me a way out. I wanted to know the truth.  For my own amazement, I give all the glory to God for all his bestowed love up on my life, me asking those questions brought me close to him. I found TRUTH only in him and came to realize he Himself is the Truth!

“Upright and just is He”!    Du 32:4

They are corrupt and not his children;

    to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation.

6 Is this the way you repay the Lord,

    you foolish and unwise people?

Is he not your Father, your Creator,[a]

    who made you and formed you?

Note: We shall not forget who our Creator is and got out in the world to be a crooked generation. We are ambassadors of Christ while we live on earth to be the light and salt of the world and carry own our kings legacy!

For the Lord’s portion is his people,

    Jacob his allotted inheritance.

10 In a desert land he found him,

    in a barren and howling waste.

He shielded him and cared for him;

    he guarded him as the apple of his eye,

11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest

    and hovers over its young,

that spreads its wings to catch them

    and carries them aloft.

12 The Lord alone led him;

    no foreign god was with him.

This is not a history that happened once up on a time for a man called Jacob. It is still for you and me People!

·         Do ya really know how much you are loved???....

They are a nation without sense,

    there is no discernment in them.

29 If only they were wise and would understand this

    and discern what their end will be!

30 How could one man chase a thousand,

    or two put ten thousand to flight,

unless their Rock had sold them,

    unless the Lord had given them up?

31 For their rock is not like our Rock,

    as even our enemies concede.

32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom

    and from the fields of Gomorrah.

Their grapes are filled with poison,

    and their clusters with bitterness.

33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,

    the deadly poison of cobras

In reading this portion of the chapter, I noticed  how Moses questioned the senselessness and ignorance of Israelites that they didn’t even acknowledge that how could one  man( one of them) were able to chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight? He was asking them question in a sense that how come you don’t wisely see that and understand if it wouldn’t have been the Lord you wouldn’t able to do that.

“See now that I myself am he!

    There is no god besides me.

I put to death and I bring to life,

    I have wounded and I will heal,

    and no one can deliver out of my hand.

Beautiful savior!

There is no one else like you Lord!
