Blessings

We don’t ever in this day and age hear of someone pronouncing blessings on others. In Deuteronomy 33 that is what Moses is doing for the people and each tribe receives their own blessing. This morning in our early morning prayer group we prayed and talked about how we might be getting in the way…

Descend Like Dew

Listen you heavens, and I will speak; hear, you earth, the words of my mouth. Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants. Deuteronomy 32:1-2. So begins a song Moses gave to the people. Yesterday we had much needed rain…

Possible

Last night we watched the season finale of The Chosen of Season 3. Along with Gospel teaching, there is dramatization of the back story of the lives and experiences of the disciples. One of the back stories was of a Pharisee determined to stop the “false teachings “ of Jesus. He hurries to a reported…

A Call to Love

Can you imagine being gathered to God and basking in His love? When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations, and when your children return to the Lord your God and obey him…

Things Revealed

Do you ever stop and think about how God has protected you or blessed you or has drawn you near? This morning I was reflecting upon how I have always known and loved God and yet when He drew me to Him in a time of great need, our journey together became personal. That is…

Our Lord Who Heals

Deuteronomy 28 is one of the hardest chapters to read and I find myself cringing. The first third describes the blessings found in obeying God; then the huge bulk describes the curses in rejecting God. It’s easy to think in reading this that God will personally punish and bring to ruin all who dare to…

Eating and Rejoicing

Do we consider how much God loves us? He teaches us what is good and warns us from things that will hurt us. We hurt ourselves and others so easily. Do we eat and rejoice in the presence of the Lord as Moses instructs in Deuteronomy 27:7? It’s a dramatic chapter. Half the tribes on…

A Treasured Possession

Reading Deuteronomy 26, I was struck by how it affected me today. Moses is reminding the people what they have been taught about Firtsfruits and Tithes so they will remember Who it is who blesses them with good land and food to eat. V. 3-11 gave me trouble because of the ritualistic nature of how…

You Have Heard It Said

When I read Deuteronomy 25:5-10, I’m reminded of the Book of Ruth one of my favorite books. Ruth was a Moabite married to a Jew. 2 Chapters ago we read No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord…Deuteronomy 23:3-6. And yet Ruth had simple faith and chose…

Compassion

As I read Deuteronomy 24 and indeed all of God’s instructions, I keep thinking about compassion. Is that not what God asks of us? Hearts that empathize. Here in Deuteronomy, Moses is addressing certificates of divorce. So sterile when laid out. A husband is displeased and writes a certificate and sends his wife away. Life…
