Today, in my daily Bible reading, I began the book of Deuteronomy. In Halley's Bible Handbook, Henry Halley describes the writing of Deuteronomy to be unsurpassed in genuine eloquence in any of the greatest literature!

The word Deuteronomy means "Second Law" or "Repetition of the Law". As the law had been given and recorded throughout the books of Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, now, in the book of Deuteronomy, the laws were "rehearsed and expounded" (as Halley notes), in anticipation of and with application to the entrance and settlement of life in the Promised Land of Canaan.

As I read, the passage that jumped out at me today was in Deuteronomy 4:35.

"To you it [God's greatness and power] was shown, that you might know the Lord Himself is God; there is none other besides Him." NKJV

This passage caused me to stop and review my life and the MANY MANY occasions when God has revealed His power and greatness to me, personally, as He led, directed and controlled my life.

What an awesome review that was and what great HOPE this verse provides for my every "NEXT" moment of living!
