Your Relationship to the Rock

Moses gave a dark preview of the future for the generation of the children of Israel that was about to enter the Promised Land. He reviewed the depraved actions of the generation that had been buried in the wilderness and warned those who had survived that they must not repeat the wickedness of their parents and grandparents. He urged them to consider the reality of divine judgment and urged them to be rightly related to the Rock of their salvation. He directed them to consider the dangers of prosperity and how it would tend to lead them to cease depending on the Lord and to go in their own way. It is a solemn reminder of the need for constant vigilance lest we fall.
