Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
The instruction found in Deuteronomy 4-11 is needed by all in order to understand God's dealings with His people. It was spoken by Moses just before his death when he was about to leave Israel. Though the meekest man, he was compelled by Israel's murmurings to rehearse their course of sin since leaving Egypt and to vindicate his own course as their leader.
That rehearsal also set forth his interest and love, pleading with God in their behalf, humbling his soul in anguish because of their sins, and even entreating to be allowed to pass over Jordan into the promised land but being refused. God designed such frequent reminders of transgression and rebellion to lead Israel to humble their hearts in view of their sins and not to forget the errors that provoked His anger. The account of transgressions was joined with the mercies and goodness they had not appreciated, even though it was not agreeable to their feelings. The verse means much to every soul carrying responsibilities in sanitarium work, calling leaders in that work to move forward on a higher plane and after a more sacred order, to be clean, to work under the Holy Spirit, to purify the soul from commonness, and to set an example in word and deportment that leads children, households, and associates to consecrated loving service.
