         After understanding that Moses was used to describe the Lord, calling him a merciful God (Deuteronomy 4.31), our attention should turn to the teachings of the Bible; after all, they were not placed for nothing, but to save us from the hands of the enemy. We do not need to suffer or live dominated by sins, but rather follow the path that will lead us to prosper in everything. In Christ, we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14).

        Moses gave us a suggestion to make sure of the nature and honorability of the Lord and His Spirit, saying: “For ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard (Deuteronomy 4.32). Abiding by the suggestion of the man who freed Israel from Egypt will give us certainty about Who our Father is!

        Let scholars show you something similar to the operations of the God of Israel, the reasons he had for taking Jacob's sons out of Egypt and taking them on a journey that no one made for 40 years in the desert, without a disease appearing among them: Did any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? (Deuteronomy 4.33). Everything happened so that we could know what the Lord is capable of doing in our favor!

          The works carried out by the Most High among the Egyptians are worthy of reflection, because in them we see how much He did for humanity. This is what Moses said: Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? (Deuteronomy 4.34) God is awesome!

         Why did the Lord instruct Moses to report everything he saw and heard from Him? Let us remember: Israel was made up of poor people, slaves and without the education of the other nations, but none of them had such a perfect code of conduct as Jacob's sons had: To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord Himself is God; there is none other besides Him. (Deuteronomy 4.35). There could only be Someone intelligent behind it!

        The deliverer of the slaves in Egypt did not use a physical or mental weapon, but the faith that reaches man when he hears the Word of God and meditates on it. Moses guaranteed that the Omnipotent would not abandon them, and this was seen in the wars they fought, where His participation was notorious. A tiny country was not defeated by larger, more powerful nations. When they sinned, they soon repented, and God did not destroy them.

           The reason for such love was that the Most High would never forget the Covenant made with His patriarchs. He is the Lord who makes an alliance with those who want to be happy here and in eternity. The Scriptures say that we must keep the words of the Covenant and fulfill them, to prosper in everything we do. The recipe works for you!

           In Christ with love,
