Gaining Perspective

God is seeking an encounter with us. Like the father off at a distance looking afar for his errant son to return, so our God is searching for the lost. In time God has begun to intercept man in his path to destruction so that He might spare and save. (Read further description below).

Deuteronomy is a book that helps us see God’s extreme faithfulness for He is reaching out again to those that have spurned His word. Just as the professing Christian has been turned off by the church or fascinated with the world, so God seeks to call them back.

The purpose of Deuteronomy is to remind God’s people of His faithfulness and kindness so that they together embrace God’s future for them.

Although this book is written far in the past (around 1500 BC), it is ever so applicable to God’s people today. As we look around, we find man sliding away from God’s presence.

There does not seem much hope except the portrait we see here of God’s patient dealing with His people. Just this past week, a brother I was talking to almost started weeping as he thought about how far God’s people have strayed from God’s presence.

Deuteronomy seems best separated into four sections in order to bring us back to a full and strong standing with Him. We could look at it as His steps of faithfulness. We are focusing on this first step:

A. Reconnecting with God’s Purpose (Chapters 1-4).

1 A new generation grew up before Moses, but God’s purpose remained the same. Through an elaborate rehearsal of events, good and bad, Moses reconnects that generation with God’s unchanging purposes.
