The Example Of The King

 

Today's Verse is Deuteronomy 17:18

And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: 

    Some interesting things in this context. First, God foretells the mood of the people when they call for a King. Then he is to submit himself to God by reading and obeying God’s Word throughout his life, setting himself as an example unto the People, that they too might Fear the Most High God. So, too then, must we also who are now in Christ Jesus, for in him have we also been made both Priests and Kings; therefore, let us not live by bread alone but by every Word that precedes out of the mouth of God. Amen.

To God be the Glory
