ONE MORE TIME

Deut. 10:1-5, 10-15

A man had decided to believe in God. Shortly after, he committed sin and couldn't face God. He became desperate. Today's text encourages us when we are in this kind of situation, and it proposes a new path to take.

  1. Be brave, one more time (1-5)
The Lord commanded Moses to cut two stone tablets like the first ones he had broken because of the people's sin. Moses did so once again and he received the ten commandments of love. Do not be discouraged. The Lord will forgive you once again after you have sinned.

  1. Be careful, one more time (10-15)
Even though God, in his love, forgives you your sins, you must not lose fear before him. Read closely verses 12-13 : 1) Fear, 2) Walk, 3) Love, 4) Serve, 5) Observe, etc. These are the teachings we must follow. Think about two biblical people who bravely followed the Lord anew :

Jonas : Jonas 1:3, 3:1-3
Peter : John 18 :27, 21:15

Prayer : Lord, thank you for always giving me the way of regeneration (spiritual re-education). Grant me always, Lord, the grace that helps me walk in your holy and just ways, according to your will.

Bottom line : Rise up
