LESSON: This piece óf paper has “GOD’S WORD” printed down the mid dle. It suggests to us the“’Bible, it is God’s desire that we give the Bible a very important place in our lives. God wanted Moses and the children of Israel to give an important place In their lives to His Word. If we open this paper, perhaps we shall see what God wanted them to do with His Word.
We read, “GATES, SOUL, HANDS, HEARTS, WALKING, WORKING, REST ING, and CHILDREN.” In Deuteronomy 11:20, we read, “And thou shalt write them... upon thy gates.” Verse 18 says, “Lay Up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand.” Turn to verse 19 and you will see that they were supposed to teach God’s Word to the boys and girls while working, walking, and resting. Today God does not require that we print the Word of God on our gates and doors, but it is His desire that we hide His Word in our hearts, and give »it the most important place in our lives. God gave the children of Israel a wonderful promise which would be theirs if they obeyed. You may find it in Deuteronomy 11:21. 34:27 A n d the Lord said unto Moses, W rite thou these w ords: for after the tenor of these w ord s I have m ade a covenant w ith' thee and w ith Israel. 28 A n d he w a s there wtth the Lord fo rty d a ys and fo rty nigh ts; he did neither eat bread, nor d rin k water. A n d he w rote upon the tables the w o rd s of the covenant, the ten comm andm ents. L E S S O N T E X T : Ex. 32:7-10; 34:4-9, 27. 28.

It was also a denial of their natural inherent help lessness, of their f a l l e n nature as human beings, and of their great sin fulness before God. They had turned “quickly out of the way,” and cor rupted themselves with idolatry. God told Moses He had seen and marked the iniquity of the nation, and He declared they were “a stiffnecked people.” The ‘command of God: “Let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them,” was a test both of Israel as a nation and of Moses as an individual. II. T he P lea ;(34:4-9) When the people fell into idolatry and Moses learned of it, he became so filled with righteous indignation that he threw down the “tables of testi mony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God” (31:18), and broke I.
