It’s one of the very “ways” of God, I suspect.

An emphasis on “opposites!”

Once sinners, we are (through the Blood of Jesus) now saints!

Once blind (spiritually), we now can see!

With our Lord, the way up is to go down! The humble will be promoted, in other words!

Yes, opposites!

Paul took up the same line of thought as well.

He told us certain things we must put off as Christians. Then consequently, certain things we must put on! For example: “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore CAST OFF the works of darkness, and let us PUT ON the armour of light.” Romans 13:12

But what has all this to do with Deuteronomy, one might ask?

Today’s verse, today’s Text emphasizes this truth. It is a restating of Israel’s testimony! What God has done for her as a Nation. “And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.” Deuteronomy 6:23

Yes … “And He (the Lord) BROUGHT US OUT from thence, that he might BRING US IN, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.”

See it?

OUT of Egypt!

INTO Canaan!

One day, Paul again, when death comes our way … we Believers will be OUT of this body in which we have lived … and immediately IN Heaven … with our Lord!

Another one, 2nd Corinthians 8:9. Jesus became POOR … that we might be made RICH in Him! “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”

Wow!

See if you can think of more of God’s glorious OPPOSITES today!

If you do, text me at 770-844-7627. I like to know what God gives you.

Our great God … so gloriously DIFFERENT!

Listen to Him: “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and THERE IS NONE ELSE; I am God, AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME.” Isaiah 46:9

Amen!
