THE LORD IS GOD
Deuteronomy 4:32-40
Ask now about the former days, long before your time,
from the
day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened,
or has anything like it ever been heard of? Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have,
and lived? Has any other god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by miraculous signs
and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outreached arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your
God did you in Egypt before your very eyes? You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides
Him there is no other. From Heaven he made you hear His voice to discipline you. On earth He showed you His great fire,
and you heard His words from out of the fire. Because He loved your forefathers and chose their descendants after them, he
brought you out of Egypt by His Presence and his great strength, to drive out before nations greater and stronger than you
and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today. Acknowledge and take to heart this
day the Lord is God in Heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. Keep His decrees and commands, which I Moses
am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the
Lord your God gives you for all time.
