A Good Perspective

Today’s Through the Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 3:12-5:33

Abbreviated Reading: Deuteronomy 3:27 - 4:20

“You have only begun to show me Your greatness and mighty hand. No other god can do anything like Your works and mighty deeds.” Deuteronomy 3:24

God’s goodness is unfathomable, His greatness is beyond our comprehension. In today’s reading, Moses stands on top of Mt. Pisgah and looks out over the vastness of the Promised Land (Deut 3:27).

Just like Moses, we can stand on our High Tower, Jesus (Psalm 18:2) and find in Him perspective of our Promised Land. For you see, in Christ we are given ALL THINGS pertaining to life and godliness (2 Pt 1:3). In Christ, we can stand on our High Tower and see the vastness of God’s goodness. We have been forgiven, redeemed, justified, we’re being sanctified, and will soon be glorified! The old has passed and we’re NEW (2 Cor 5:17). Gone is the guilt of sin (Rm 8:1). We are made ALIVE in Christ (Col 2:13; Rm 12:2). Sin no longer controls our day (1 Cor 10:13), but we are filled with the Spirit. We are on our way to our heavenly home where His banner over us is love (Song of Sol. 2:4).

Moses admonished Israel:

Be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children. Deuteronomy 4:9

Let’s take time today to remember all God has done for us!

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Psalm 103:2-4
