For it is your own eyes
This phrase emphasizes the personal witness of the Israelites to God's mighty acts. The emphasis on "your own eyes" underscores the direct experience and accountability of the people. In the context of Deuteronomy, Moses is addressing the second generation of Israelites who had witnessed God's miracles in the wilderness. This personal witness is crucial for the transmission of faith and obedience to future generations, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:6-9, where parents are instructed to teach their children diligently.

that have seen
The act of seeing here is not just physical sight but also spiritual understanding and recognition of God's power and faithfulness. The Israelites' experiences were meant to solidify their faith and trust in God. This concept of seeing and understanding is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus often speaks of those who have eyes but do not see (Mark 8:18), highlighting the importance of spiritual perception.

every great work
The "great work" refers to the miraculous deeds God performed, such as the plagues in Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision of manna. These acts are not only historical events but also typological foreshadowings of Christ's redemptive work. For instance, the Passover lamb is a type of Christ, the Lamb of God (John 1:29). The great works serve as a testament to God's sovereignty and power, reinforcing the covenant relationship between God and His people.

that the LORD has done
This phrase attributes all the miraculous works to the LORD, emphasizing His active role in the history of Israel. The use of the covenant name "LORD" (YHWH) highlights the personal and relational aspect of God's interaction with His people. It is a reminder of His faithfulness to His promises, as seen in the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 12:1-3). The deeds of the LORD are a demonstration of His character and His commitment to His covenant, which is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is the mediator of a new covenant (Hebrews 9:15).

Teaching Points
Remember God's Faithfulness
Reflect on the mighty works God has done in your life. Just as the Israelites were called to remember, we too should recall and testify to God's faithfulness.

Witness and Testimony
The Israelites were firsthand witnesses of God's power. As believers, we are called to share our testimonies and the gospel, bearing witness to God's work in our lives.

Obedience and Trust
Seeing God's works should lead to greater trust and obedience. Consider how witnessing God's faithfulness in the past can strengthen your faith in current challenges.

Generational Teaching
Like the Israelites, we are responsible for passing down the knowledge of God's works to the next generation, ensuring that His deeds are not forgotten.

Spiritual Vision
Pray for spiritual eyes to see God's hand in your daily life, recognizing His ongoing work and presence.(7) But your eyes have seen.--Literally, For your eyes are the witnesses (literally; the seers) of all the great working of Jehovah which He hath wrought.

Verses 7-9. - Thus from what they themselves had witnessed does Moses admonish the elder members of the congregation, summoning them to recognize in that the purpose of God to discipline and train them, that so they might keep his commandments and be strengthened in soul and purpose to go in and possess the land, and to live long therein (Deuteronomy 1:38; Deuteronomy 4:26; Deuteronomy 6:3). Verse 7. - For but, read yea: Yea, your eyes have seen, etc.
