Deuteronomy 32 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Deuteronomy 32.

Meditate on verses 2-4.

 

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!

 The Rock! His work is perfect, for all His ways are just;

a God of faithfulness and without injustice, righteous and upright is He.

 

Interestingly, Moses’ last words were a teaching song.  He wanted the Israelites to remember God’s faithfulness and their past unfaithfulness, in hopes they would take his words to heart, observing God’s law and teaching it to their children because their lives depended on it.  Look for opportunities to teach God’s Word, even if it is with your dying breath because the eternal lives of others are at stake.

 

Moses’ final words began with a prayer for his teaching to impact his hearers like rain impacts vegetation, causing it to flourish, thrive, and reproduce.  It is a perfect prayer to pray over yourself when the LORD gives you the opportunity to speak about Him.

 

Pray it (Deuteronomy 32:2-4) now as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, please let my teaching drop as the rain

and my speech distill as the dew, as the droplets on the fresh grass

and as the showers on the herb.  For I proclaim You name, LORD,

and ascribe greatness to You, God. 

You are the Rock!  Your work is perfect, for all Your ways are just. 

You are a God of faithfulness and without injustice. 

You are righteous and upright.

You are Jesus, in whose name I pray~”
