Deuteronomy 10:12-22

A lovely programme is set before the children of Israel in vv. 12 and 13. Christian friend, the Lord claims the same from you; fear, faithfulness, love, self-denial, obedience. Micah 6:8 asks the same question and, in reply, asks for uprightness, kindness and humility. All this is required of us in our own interest, "for thy good" (v. 13), and is only a proper response to divine love. Happy mutual ties!: "The LORD had a delight in (clave to) thy fathers to love them" (v. 15) . . . "To him shalt thou cleave" (v. 20).

Circumcision of the heart is demanded. An outward sign showing that you are religious is not enough. Your heart should show that the claims of the flesh have been judged and that you belong to God.

The LORD helps those who are alone in life. The orphan, the widow and the stranger are all, in particular, the objects of His care. This "great, mighty and terrible" God (v. 17) who has done "great and terrible things" (v. 21) is also a God full of tender love, a Father to the orphans, a Judge doing justice to the widows (Psalms 68:5).

"He is thy praise" (v. 21): It is not only what He has done but His Person Himself who is a continuous subject of joy and adoration in the hearts and on the lips of the redeemed.
