Daily Scripture Redemption: Part 3
You are the Lord our God, who brought Your people out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. (Exodus 20:2)
You are the Lord our God, who brought Your people out of Egypt so that they would no longer be their slaves; You broke the bars of their yoke and enabled them to walk with heads held high. (Leviticus 26:13)
Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as the children of Israel have, and lived? Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord God did for Israel in Egypt before their very eyes? The Israelites were shown these things so that they might know that the Lord, He is God; there is no other besides Him. Out of heaven He made the children of Israel hear His voice to discipline them. On earth He showed them His great fire, and they heard His words out of the midst of the fire. Because He loved their fathers, He chose their descendants after them, and He brought them out of Egypt by His presence and His great power; He drove out from before the Israelites nations greater and mightier than they, to bring them in and to give them their land as an inheritance. (Deuteronomy 4:33-38)
The children of Israel were a people holy to the Lord their God. The Lord God chose them out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be His people, His treasured possession. The Lord did not set His love on them and choose them because they were more numerous than other peoples, for they were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved them and kept the oath He swore to their fathers that He brought them out with a mighty hand and redeemed them from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. (Deuteronomy 7:6-8)
The Lord led His people all the way in the wilderness for forty years, to humble them and to test them in order to know what was in their heart, whether or not they would keep His commands. He humbled them, allowing them to hunger and then feeding them with manna, which neither they nor their fathers had known, to teach them that man does not live on bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. (Deuteronomy 8:2-3)
The Lord set His affection on the forefathers of Israel to love them, and He chose their descendants above all peoples. (Deuteronomy 10:15)
The Lord is our praise, and He is our God, who performed for the children of Israel those great and awesome wonders which they saw with their own eyes. (Deuteronomy 10:21)
The children of Israel were a people holy to the Lord their God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord chose them to be His treasured possession. (Deuteronomy 14:2)
The Lord God is the One who went with Israel to fight for them against their enemies, to save them. (Deuteronomy 20:4)
You set before Your people life and prosperity, death and destruction; and You commanded them to love You, the Lord their God, to walk in Your ways, and to keep Your commandments, statutes, and judgments, so that they would live and multiply and that You would bless them in the land they were entering to possess. You called heaven and earth as witnesses against them that You set before them life and death, blessings and curses, and told them to choose life, so that they and their children would live by loving You, listening to Your voice, and holding fast to You. (Deuteronomy 30:15-16, 19-20)
