...the end of book five.

So it turns out I really enjoyed the book of Deuteronomy.  It was basically a review of the first four books of the bible.

It gave me many glimpses of God's character and how faithful His love is - even when we are stubborn and rebellious. There were a lot of great verses in this book about fear and loving God. 

Jesus himself quoted this book a few times during his ministry.  When he was asked by the Pharisees what the greatest commandment was, He answered them:



I also loved one of the messages that Moses tried to get through to the Israelites in this chapter.  He explained to them that God didn't chose them as a nation because they were a great people but simply because He loves them and because He made a promise to their ancestors. 

It's that simple. 

God keeps His promises.  Love Him with all your heart, mind and soul.

Yes, Deuteronomy was a great book.
