(May 17, 2014)
The language used in these chapters is powerful – even with the distance of millennia in time and culture, and even through translation. As I read, I felt filled with the desire to commit myself through oath to the Lord and to follow Him regardless of what was asked. I cannot imagine, with everything that changed between the days when this was written and today, that this was due to any particular rhetorical value in the message. Instead, I am certain that it is the power of the Spirit that accompanies this message that calls to me the way that it called to the Israelites.
