He Is

Recently, in a moment of boredom of all things, I read through the book of Deuteronomy. To be completely candid and open with you, the book has always been a boring one for me. One of the "Thou Shalt" and "Thou Shalt Not" books. But that particular afternoon, suddenly I saw it in a different light. It wasn't a book of the law so much as it was a book that revealed the true heart of God. Reading it with a heart to know Him and understand His ways revealed the deeper aspect of the book, and I found that Deuteronomy is an amazing reflection on who God really is.

For He is...

"For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you."
Deuteronomy 4:31

"For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God."
Deuteronomy 5:9

"The LORD will establish you as his holy people."
Deuteronomy 28:9

"Know therefore that the LORD your God is God;
He is the faithful God,
keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations
of those who love Him and keep His commands."

Deuteronomy 7:9

"What other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws
as this body of laws I am setting before you today?"
Deuteronomy 4:8

"He will show you mercy, and have compassion on you.
Deuteronomy 13:17

"He is the Rock, His works are perfect,

and all His ways are just.

A God of truth and without iniquity
upright and just is He."
Deuteronomy 32:4


"For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords,
the great God, mighty and awesome."

Deuteronomy 10:17
