Usually I post my Bible study takeaways each morning.
Not today.

For those of you who have adopted these as your morning devotions, thanks and think on this as today’s substitute.

“I am the Lord your God” appears hundreds of times in the first 5 books of the Bible, called the Torah.

The phrase “I am the Lord your God” serves as a reminder of God’s faithfulness and power, and encourages people to trust in God’s ability to provide and deliver, which he demonstrated over and over again.

Most notable, the phrase opens the giving of the 10 commandments.

God’s very personal introduction is the bond he makes with his people. You are included in his reference.

It’s both humbling and satisfying to know the God of the universe establishes his ownership of us so many times with that phrase.

Think on that. I do all the time.

Have a wonderful day today.
