Deuteronomy 29:10 says, Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel, Moses said that the people of Israel stood before God that day. We also stand before God every day, whether we admit it or not. Verse eleven adds, Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: Moses said they all stood before God, even their little ones and the strangers. We need to bring our little ones and strangers to God. Verse twelve continues, That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day: Moses said that they stood before God to enter into a covenant relationship with Him. We today all stand before God, but the question is will we enter into a covenant relationship with Him by putting our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. Verse thirteen concludes, That he may establish thee today for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. Moses said that God stood ready to enter into a covenant relationship with them, as He had sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He was still the same God, and He was calling them into a covenant relationship with Himself, and this is still true today, not just for the people of Israel, but for everyone. Verse fourteen states, Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; God said that He wasn't just making the oath with those who stood there that day, God's redemption plan was not and is not limited to just certain people at a certain time, but is available to anyone at any time. Verse fifteen adds, But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day: God said that His plan included even those who weren't there that day, and that would include you and me. Verse sixteen continues, (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by; Verse seventeen concludes, And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:) Moses reminded them of how God had dealt with Egypt and other nations because of their abominations and idols. God still will one day deal harshly with those who reject Him and worship idols.
