163 Again and Again, Over and Over (Deut 10)

So apologies first.
Sorry.
Explanations next.
I decided to support the lovely Donna undergo a dietry experiment for 2 weeks starting on Monday.
Which is a lovely noble gesture, but as it involves no meat or coffee among others things, I have had trouble concentrating.
Not that I'm a picture of stoic focus at the best of times, but my head this last 3 days has been a bit more "floatier" than normal.
Anyhow, I now have sort of regained my powers of thought-controlling and will attempt to continue this odyssey.
Ooooh look shiny, shiny....................
Sorry.
Back to the real stuff.
But, it is so shiny and sparkly......
And I adore watermelon.

Deuteronomy 10
v12-13 "And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good?"


At the end of the day, God's desire for His people is a simple one.
One that any father would expect of their children.
Honour, respect, appreciation and obedience.
The thought that continues to echo along the deep chasm of Deuteronomy is that God does care and provide for, guide and love His people.
The examples are many and I feel I keep repeating the same thoughts with each chapter.
God has shown through the course of 40 years, that He has chosen them above all other people.
They are special and have been treated in a special way.
They are set apart.
They are different.
Because......
They serve a God who is special. Unique.
He is living and like no other.
He has done so much to demonstrate this.
Over and over again.
