Deuteronomy 9:15

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

So I turned and came down from the mount,.... As the Lord commanded:and the mount burned with fire; as it had for six weeks past, ever since the Lord's descent upon it; and so it continued, for the words may be rendered, "and the mount was burning" ; and yet this did not deter the Israelites from idolatry:and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands: one table in one hand, and the other in the other hand.

reb "de monte ardente", V. L. Heb.

This week, find a "foot-washing" opportunity in your home or church. Do a task that is "beneath" you; clean the bathroom, take out the trash, or do the dishes and do it secretly. Don't tell anyone. Let God be the only one who sees your towel.Discipledeck
