Deuteronomy 32-34
What God said to me – Do you see how “I AM” a faithful God who always accomplishes His purposes and loves His children enough to discipline them when they stray. Israel was My beloved child and My purpose was to shine through them to draw the world to Me. When they chose to turn from Me, I judged them to discipline them and bring them to repentance. My purpose was not thwarted by their disobedience though – I turned to “those who were not a people” and made them My own, the church. I have used My church to accomplish My purpose to reach the world and draw those who are Mine to Me. There is coming a day when I will come for My church to reward their faithfulness. Then I will return to My first child, My beloved Israel, and I will bring them to repentance and cause them to return to Me. “I AM” a covenant keeping God.
