Song of Moses, Joshua, and God
Meditate on verses 2-3.
Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew,
as the droplets on the fresh grass and as the showers on the herb,
for I proclaim the name of the LORD; ascribe greatness to our God.
On the day Moses died, he spoke this song to the children of
Israel, with his successor, Joshua, by his side (Deuteronomy 32:44-52). Moses starts the song with a prayer request
that his words will distill (purify) the hearers. Then Moses immediately condemns the people
for being corrupt toward God their Father (vs. 5-6). After elaborating on their abominations (vs.
5-18), the LORD takes over the song, warning the people of His coming judgment,
but also reassuring them of His mercy and compassion (vs. 19-43).
What a treasure—the final words of Moses that are the
eternal Words of God! Take them to
heart, letting them distill you.
Appeal to the LORD with His Words by praying Deuteronomy 32:20,
28-29, 31, 36, and 39 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a
faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, please do not hide Your face from ___________ and me.
Do not let us be a perverse generation; make us Your
faithful ones. Make us a nation guided by Your counsel
and understanding. Make us wise, so we can understand
and discern our future. Jesus,
You are our Rock, and there is no
other rock like You—let even our
enemies know this.
LORD, vindicate us, Your people, and have compassion on
us, Your servants, when You see that our strength is gone.
You are God! There is no god
besides You! You put to death
and give life. You wound, and
You heal, and there is no
one who can deliver from Your hand.
In the name of our Rock, Jesus~”
