Deuteronomy
7:19-21 – You saw
with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm,
with which the Lord your God brought you out.
The Lord your God will do the same to all the
peoples you now fear. Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until even the
survivors who hide from you have perished. Do not be
terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among
you, is a great and awesome God.
Genesis 17:7 – I will establish
my covenant as an everlasting covenant between
me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be
your God and the God of
your descendants after you.
Joshua 3:10 – This is how you
will know that the living God is among you and
that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites,
Perizzites, Girgashites,
Amorites and Jebusites.
Psalm
68:35 – You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God
of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise
be to God!
Isaiah 9:6 – For to us
a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty
God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Application:
- · God’s commitment to His covenant was forever, but descendants of Abraham could break it.
- · The manner by which God brought the Israelites across the Jordan River, the watery boundary of the promised land, brought assurance that the one true God was with them and that He would surely dislodge the present inhabitants of Canaan.
- · The Lord of all has made Israel His people, and His rule among them makes them participants in His victorious power.
- · As Wonderful Counselor, the coming Son of David will carry out a royal program that will cause all the world to marvel. His divine power as a warrior is stressed. He will be an enduring, compassionate provider and protector. His rule will bring wholeness and well-being to individuals and to society.
