Legacy (Deuteronomy 31-32, 34)

September 29, 2013 By Seth Leave a Comment

Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it.”  And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab, as the Lord had said.  (Deuteronomy 34:4-5) The end of Deuteronomy is both depressing and ...

Leadership Privileges (Deuteronomy 17:14-20; 18, 29-30)

September 28, 2013 By Seth Leave a Comment

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests.  It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow ...

Instilling Faith (Deuteronomy 11-12)

September 27, 2013 By Seth Leave a Comment

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (Deuteronomy 11:18-19) Parents have an enormous responsibility of passing their faith on to their children.  I ... [Continue Reading]

Do Yourself a Favor (Deuteronomy 9-10)

September 26, 2013 By Seth Leave a Comment

And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good? (Deuteronomy 10:12-13) There are two ways of looking at God's commands.  From one ... [Continue Reading]

It’s Not You… It’s Him (Deuteronomy 7-8)

September 25, 2013 By Seth Leave a Comment

When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. (Deuteronomy 8:6) It's easy to think that you're responsible for what you have.  After all, you've worked hard, you've been thrifty, you've been diligent.  But there's so much more to what you have, isn't there? Who gave you the ability to work?  Where did your job come ... [Continue Reading]

Value Lies in the Application (Deuteronomy 5-6)

September 24, 2013 By Seth Leave a Comment

So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left.  Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. (Deuteronomy 5:32-33) Have you ever noticed that people don't buy cans of paint, open them up, and just ... [Continue Reading]

No Excuses (Deuteronomy 1-2)

September 22, 2013 By Seth Leave a Comment

"In spite of this, you did not trust in the Lord your God..." (Deuteronomy 1:32) The Israelites had problems with trusting God.  Though they had moments of clarity, it sure seems like their journey was one marked more by getting things wrong than by getting things right.  The baffling part of their lack of trust is that God revealed Himself to them in such incredible ...

The Danger of Frustration (Numbers 20-21, Psalm 90)

September 21, 2013 By Seth 1 Comment

He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, “Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?” (Numbers 20:10) Every person has a breaking point.  Regardless of who you are or how patient you seem, there's someone in your life who is capable of pushing you so far that you finally lose it.  Moses experienced that ...

To Tell You the Truth (Numbers 16-17)

September 20, 2013 By Seth 3 Comments

Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab. But they said, “We will not come!  Isn’t it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness?  And now you also want to lord it over us! (Numbers 16:12-13) Failing to accurately represent the whole truth is just as dishonest as telling a flat out lie.  In ... [Continue Reading]

Unique Prayers (Numbers 12-14)

September 19, 2013 By Seth Leave a Comment

So Moses cried out to the Lord, “Please, God, heal her!” (Numbers 12:13) At first glance, there's nothing unique about Moses' prayer for his sister.  Most people pray for God to heal a loved one at some point in time - even those who profess no faith in anything other than themselves. What makes Moses' prayer unique is the situation leading up to it.  Faced by all ... [Continue Reading]
