Boys, There's a place in Deuteronomy where Moses told the people of Israel to remember God and His commands and ways when they got to the land He promised them. He told them to love God with all that they are and to commit themselves wholeheartedly to the ways of God and to pass onto their children all the commands of God by talking about them in everyday life, repeatedly. He told them to be careful not to forget the LORD when they got to the land God promised, full of good food and houses and wells and vineyards. He told them that a day would come when their children would ask what the meaning of all these rules and ways the LORD had told them to live by, and that they should tell their children about their salvation from Egypt- how God had rescued them with a "strong hand."
He told them that after God had brought them into this rich land and driven out their enemies and provided them with plenty that they shouldn't think that God did this for them because they were such good people. No! It wasn't because they were such good people, it was just because God chose them to show the rest of the fallen world His goodness and love.
This section of scripture inspires me to remember its my love for the Lord and my obedience to His word that leads you, my children, to ask "Why?" And when you ask why may my answer be something that says, "Because Christ died for us!"
My life, and the Bible teaching I give you, should point you to our Redeemer.
