In our day, there are many who say, “Let us follow other gods.” God says, “You must not listen” to such people (Deuteronomy 13:2-3).
To follow the Lord’s instruction is not popular. Nevertheless, this is
what we must do: “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door” (Luke 13:24).
Whatever the world may say, we must stand by the truth of God’s Word:
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of
the Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10).
What God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: "Hear my prayer, O God, listen to the words of my mouth." We must call upon Him with faith: "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me" (Psalm 54:2,4).
