DCLM Daily Manna 2024: DCLM Daily Manna 6 December 2024: Honoured in Death
Text: Deuteronomy 34:10-12 (KJV)
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
KEY VERSE: Deuteronomy 34:10
“And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.”
Catherine Millard wrote, “The Inner Courtroom of the US Supreme Court shows four marble bas-relief panels beneath the ceiling on each of the four walls. Each has a particular story to tell. The pane directly above the bench where the Chief Justice and the eight Associate Justices are seated depicts ‘The Power of Government’ and ‘The Majesty of the Law.’ Between these two allegorical figures, the Ten Commandments stand out in a position of prominence. ‘Justice, the Guardian of Liberty,’ is the title of the East pediment of the building; a stark reminder of the origin and basis for our American legal system is depicted in the central figure of Moses holding the two tables of the Old Testament Law, one in either hand.” A relief plaque of Moses is in the Chamber of the United States House of Representatives. It is one of twenty-three marble plaques placed there during the remodelling in 1949-1950.
Moses is honoured in death. He is remembered as a prophet ‘whom the Lord knew face to face’. Of importance also is his gentleness, humility and authenticity. God sent him to do unique signs and wonders in Egypt and before all Israel.
Also, Moses and Elijah were the two Old Testament figures who appeared with Christ on the mount of transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-6). ‘The song of Moses the servant of God’ will be sung in heaven together with ‘the song of the Lamb’ (Revelation 15:3). Notably, a plaque honouring Moses is placed conspicuously in the chambers of the US Supreme Court and the House of Representatives. What more incredible honour could there be?
Your life is an open book to others who will read of your impact long after you have departed. You will be remembered for what you have done. The best honour is the one that lasts for all eternity, which God gives to His faithful servants in heaven.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Honour is earned and not imposed.
