Deuteronomy 4

Moses encouraged the Israelites to live up to the standards of their God’s reputation.  They were to be a people known for their righteousness and wisdom.  They were to reflect upon the character of the LORD. 

He sets out again to explain the covenant and its regulations and stipulations.  He knows that in the future the people will rebel and turn back to idolatry, but also knows that the LORD will be ready to forgive and restore them if they repent. 

LORD, help us to live up to the challenge of reflecting the character of Christ.
