24When Moses had finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end, 25he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD: 26“Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, so that it may remain there as a witness against you. 27For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you are already rebelling against the LORD while I am still alive, how much more will you rebel after my death!
“The Ten Commandments were placed inside the ark of the covenant (Hebrews 9:4). But the whole book of the law - Genesis through Deuteronomy - was placed beside the ark of the covenant.” (Guzik)
Moses knew from Gods word and from common sense, that the Israelites would rebel against God. After all, they did in the past and Gods word is true.
Let the Israelites be a lesson for us!
We are no different because of our sin nature! He that says he hath no sin is a liar! We need to examine our heart and mind daily and ask the Lord for forgiveness!
Dear Heavenly Father, I lift my thoughts, actions and words up to YOU and ask for forgiveness. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
Blessings
