HE IS THE ROCK; ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUST
Keywords 32:4
He is the Rock, his works
are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong,
upright and just is he.
1. Is he not your Father, your Creator (31:30-32:14)
Moses’ song reminds
us of who God is and what he has done for us. Who is our God? He is the Rock
who works perfectly and justly and does no wrong. He is Creator; he is Father.
In contrast, his people are continually corrupt, warped, and crooked. It was God
who chose Israel, caring and providing for them as the apple of his eye. He
watched over and raised them like a mother eagle. He alone led them day by day.
Like a good Father, he provided all the best things for his beloved children.
2. They rejected the
Rock their Savior (15-27)
But when God’s
people grow fat on God’s blessings, they abandon and reject the God who made
and saved them. Like an unfaithful spouse, they turn to idols of the
contemporary culture; they forgot the God who gave them life. Moses saw God’s
anger, wrath, and calamities from this perspective: a jealous God seeking to
turn his people back. This was not based on their own merits: They deserved to
be scattered and erased from history, but by his mercy, God revealed his good
character to all nations of the world (26-27).
Prayer Father, you are our
just Creator and gracious Father. Help me remember you today.
One Word The LORD is our Father
