Deuteronomy 4:1-15
The writer is exhorting the people of Israel to obey the commands of God. He recalls how the people received the 10 commandments on stone tablets, He reminds them how they were taught the statutes and judgements of God. However, the easy part is learning, the hard part is obeying. Obedience to the ways of God often shifts us away from how we want to live. It forces us into decisions of trust. Who do we trust more, ourselves or God? Obviously, we are not the first people to struggle with this. The reason it is in scripture is that the people who received the commandments directly struggled with this. This is an ancient struggle that we live out every day.
