UPRIGHT

“…A God of faithfulness and without injustice,
Righteous and upright is He.”

Deuteronomy 32:4

120 years. That’s how old Moses was when he commissioned Joshua to take his place. Moses’s words, ever so eloquent, are recorded in Deuteronomy 32. I’d love for you to read them! In verses 2-3, Moses poured forth, “Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew,…For I proclaim the name of the Lord.” He continues, “upright is He.” Why did Moses want to communicate that God is upright? He wanted us to know that God is believable. He is just, true, and His word is just and true.* As we go about our lives in a world that is often not upright; where people speak words that are often not true, how refreshing it is to know that God and His Word are!

UPRIGHT LORD GOD, I praise You that You and Your Word are just and true. All praise and glory belong to You!
