In Part one Moses told us Forget Not what we have seen and teach it to the next generations. Here is the second thing we must remember.

2. Forget Not : Deuteronomy 4:22
 I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

Here he reminds them he will not be going.  God told him to speak to the rock and in frustration he struck it instead.

Moses had one of the closest walks with God possible.  Notice the closer we are the more accountable we are.

We are called to obedience. Lord help me please to hear and obey your voice.

Bad news for Moses, but you shall go over and possess the land.

Deuteronomy 4:23-24
Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee.   For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

Again you are responsible for you, Forget Not the covenant of God…..let nothing else be an idol.  Not money, power or prestige. Our God is a jealous God.  He must be number one in our lives.

3.  Deuteronomy 5:14-15
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

God has commanded us to rest on the Sabbath.   We don’t.  The Hebrews had to have food preparation done the day before.  Could only walk so far for Sabbath Service.

It is a day we should smell the roses, watch the clouds in the sky. Rediscover the Majesty of the Lord. Marvell at His wonders, Praise His Holiness.

Sanctify  yourselves before the Lord.   Consecrate yourself a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable and perfect.

By the way it’s also a command for those who serve….

We need to let God do His perfect work and rest in Him.

Hebrews 4:9-11
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.  Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
