Recognize the Power
Deuteronomy 4:39
Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.
The middle of this chapter takes on idols. Pointing out that they saw only fire, no form, when He spoke at Mount Horeb, He cautions the Israelites to not even think of making a representation of Him.
Yet He knows they will, and then they will be scattered all over the world. Verse 29 from the last post promises that they will never be abandoned by God, but He can be found if the heart is engaged in the search.
After that, Moses speaks on the uniqueness of God, and the uniqueness of His relationship with Israel, from designer and creator of the nation to teacher and leader. Then comes the application:
"Acknowledge and take to heart this day..."
Acknowledge: To recognize as being valid or having force or power.
Recognize the power of the fact that Yahweh alone is God. Take that knowledge into your deepest self, into your most secret thoughts.
