1. Seek him with all your heart (25-31)

Moses knew sinful human nature. The time would come when the people would forget God's grace and turn to idols. God would surely punish them by removing them from the land and scattering them among the nations. But God is merciful; if from there--from their place of deepest distress--they sought God with all their hearts, they would find him.

2. Acknowledge that the Lord is God (32-49)

God's dealing with his people is unique in the annals of history. He delivered them with his mighty arm so that they might know that he is God. He loved them and gave them his word to discipline them. They must keep his laws and obey his commands, for this is the way of life and blessing. The cities of refuge are reminders that they must be merciful, for he is merciful. Moses ends his 'lessons from history' with a reminder of victory and an introduction to the law.

Application: Lord, help me to seek you with all my heart and acknowledge that you are God.
One Word: Seek God from where you are
