12“Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
Despite God being the Creator and Beholder of the universe , God chose to love us. And the least He wants us to do is love one another , sharpen each other and continually allow the Holy Spirit to refine us in fire.
May we never think we are better or greater than anyone else. Only God is perfect, but as long as we listen to Him, he will guide our paths and forgive when we prove we are not perfect. May we be good examples for our children so they will know the path they need to follow. Amen. ♥️
24Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea.
7And there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your households, in all that you undertake, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.
Can anyone recommend a series of videos or posts that correlate to our reading and give more clarity about what the verses mean each day? I so want to feel like I understand everything we’re reading but sometimes (especially with the Psalms and more poetic books) I have trouble! Thanks in advance!
During this uncertain time of quarantine and shelter-in-place orders, we must remember that God is here for us in all times of hardship and uncertainty.
12“And now, Israel (and JoAnn), what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
It struck me as I was reading about what they could and couldn’t eat- that they must pour out the blood of the animal, for it is the life. For Jews who have adhered this tradition for so long, it must have been so powerful at the Last Supper, when Jesus told them to drink the wine that was his blood. It was His life he was giving them.
“If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out” — WOW that hurts but in the best of ways! God doesn’t care how integral a part of us something is, if it causes us to sin He says PITCH IT. Don’t need it. Can’t live with it. I love that startling reminder to keep our lives/actions/heart centered on HIM ALONE!
As I am going through this difficult situation, I MUST remember that God is for me and not against me. I have to give all of my heart and sou and he will lead me to victory! ❤️
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn.’
I love that after all these laws regarding every detail of the Israelites’ outward separation from the world, God reminds them that he’s always, ALWAYS after their hearts first!
He always desired their true love and devotion, not just an outward demonstration.
12:4 ‘You shall not act like this toward the Lord your God. 5 ‘But you shall seek the Lord at the place which the Lord your God will choose…
12:30 beware that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’ 31 ‘You shall not behave thus toward the Lord your God
Reading the OT testament can be difficult at times because I find it can be hard to relate it to today, but the message I got from these verses was that there’s going to be times in life where it will be easy to stray from God and his word – we will find times when we’re surrounded by others who have conformed to this world and aren’t walking with God & the fruits of the spirit. Moses is reminding the Israelites that they shouldn’t follow the people of the land God is leading them to, just like we shouldn’t conform and be like those who have more worldly views and live a life apart from God. In today’s world, I feel like it’s easy to get sidetracked in our faith, especially in times of struggle, but deut 11:13 says that if we follow the word of God and obey his commandments, if we love him and live to serve him with our hearts and souls, He will always provide and let us prosper. By loving and obeying God and living for him, it will much harder to let outside influences diminish the faith and love we have for Him.
Amen. I needed to read this today after last week’s business of life left me conforming to the patterns of behavior of everyone around me, most of my actions emulating the people in my life who don’t worship God. Yucky. I need to remember we are called + set apart, not worshipping other gods but living, breathing, walking, talking, only for the One TRUE God.
4Don’t worship the Lord your God this way. 5Instead, you must turn to the place Yahweh your God chooses from all your tribes to put His name for His dwelling and go there.
What stood out to me from this section was all the verses talking about how God has a set way for us to worship Him and not to worship Him like everyone else does their own gods. We have a holy God and we are to be set apart in what we do and not look like everyone else. And it shows that you can’t come to God however you want – you have to come to Him the way that He allows for and determines.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
God can take the least of us and make us numerous. Only if we are faithful and believe in the works that He can do for us. We are not a part of this world, but we do live in it and we have to care for others even if they don’t care for us. God loves us even when we didn’t love Him or ourselves. Blessings and Honor to the most high God.
Duet:11 – 10 The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden. 11 But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. 12 It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.
This just stuck out to me today… When they were in their place of captivity and slavery they were bound to a law of works… [as slaves are].
Human effort and toil is your lot, you work the land, you figure out how to bring sustenance and sustainability to your life/situation but you will always remain a slave regardless. Like a life of separation from our Heavenly Father demands from us. BUT… Where God is taking them (taking us) is a place of beauty, grace, rest, promise of so much greater than u or we have ever perceived because it is God himself who tills, waters, refreshes the land and causes it to flourish, he prepared it for them (for us) in advance. We didn’t earn or deserve it by our own efforts, it was our loving God who promised, provided and will sustain it… In exchange for our wholehearted love and faithful trust in him, his goodness.
Grace laid out before them [us].
Simply beautiful.
The part in deuteronomy about tying God’s commands to your hands made me think of my purity ring, and how it’s a visual reminder of God’s commands and my resolve to keep them. Also what is the meaning of “circumcise your hearts” in 10:16?
Deuteronomy 10:12 “Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul”. To love God and do what He says. It seems so simple. Until you try to do it. Then it seems so incredibly hard, even impossible. The harder I try, the faster I fail.
Wow I’m just reading your comments and I’m lost with words. It’s so encouraging and beautiful to have and know there are mothers like you all out there wanting their kids and family to know Christ. Continue to have faith in God and keep on bringing forth your prayers for the God you all serve and are praying to is mighty to save. Wish you all the best and may God reach out to your families unexpected I’m sure “he will not let them go until he has done what he have promised them” Genesis 28:15
“So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, (Deuteronomy 11:18-20 NLT)
This is my desire: To every day show my daughter who Christ is and teach her His word. She’s 3, so I have to keep that in perspective, but I pray she’ll come to know Him early & never stray!!
Yes yes yes!!! That is one of my daily prayers! If I never accomplish another thing in my life, that’s fine, as long as I bring up my children to know, love, follow, and live for Him.
I agree! And yet it doesn’t always work out. My 18 year old is so lost right now, it completely breaks my heart! Just keep modeling Jesus and showing your kids your complete love, gratitude and need for Him. I think I must have messed this up somewhere! I can’t help but feel like I deserve blame for this. Sorry for rambling. Please pray for him to come back! He used to love the Lord.
Debbie, you can’t blame yourself for this. I understand that, as a mom, you feel responsible for your son, but you don’t know his heart and its motives. Only God can see that. It’s not up to us to save people, that’s God’s job. We plant the seeds and God takes care of the rest. Keep praying and modeling Christ for him, and we will all pray that God changes his heart and brings your son back to Himself.
Yes, I agree with Pam! God gave you your time to plant seed. It’s up to your son to receive and act on it. The parable of the sower says, the the farmer throws out the seed. That’s it. It’s not up to us to make them get it. That’s the Holy Spirit’s job. Don’t beat yourself up. His word does not return void!!
Hi Debbie, Pam is right. My adult children were raised Christian, baptized and confirmed, but they have strayed. One is very lost and my grandchildren have no knowledge other than what I share. They do have incorrect knowledge, and that scares me. But I pray for them every day, and have for years. Every once in awhile I see hope, a tiny flicker. God is working in their souls and hearts. I have hope. I trust.
I agree with Pam, you can’t blame yourself. I was simultaneously reading John this morning and in the beginning it talks about John being a messenger of the gospel and how he makes it clear that he is nothing compared to the Lord. I think sometimes we put the burden on ourselves to change people, but it’s not us that changes their hearts, we are merely messengers. I really do encourage you to trust God and keep praying, he does miracles. I’ve been praying for my dad about ten years and this last Sunday he gave his life to Christ and I already see a huge change and passion in him I never saw before. It certainly didn’t happen in my timing, but don’t give up. It’s not up to us to know the whens and whys but to have an unwavering faith! :)
Debbie I’ll be praying for you! I am a 21 yr old college student who was not raised in a Christian home, learning Christian things. My parents are wonderful and supportive and soo soo loving. But I did not know God directly. In highschool I was partying and doing a lot of other things that I wish I didn’t. BUT God. God is so powerful, he can redeem so fully. I started talking to God through listening to a Christian music station. The songs just hit something in me. God can change us with something so small. I’ll be praying that your son has an open heart and that some part of him is seeking something greater. I’ll pray for your strength and perseverance as well!
As someone who has “strayed away” from the Lord myself, I know this can be challenging. In my heart, I knew it was wrong, but I was so young and I prioritized things differently. I was also super afraid to ask questions and develop this relationship with the Lord that I’m so happy with now! It just took me a while to realize what was most important. God created this path for me. It was meant to be this way… Maybe it’s a similar situation. As difficult as it seems. Trust in the big guy. He’ll help you through. Sending prayers to you and your family.
12 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, 13 and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good? These verses are a great reminder. And although I strive for these things I know I can falter. Jesus has been the perfect sacrifice that I did not deserve so that we can be right with God. PRaise the Lord!
To love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to Him and to hold fast to Him… A great way for me to check my relationship with the Lord. Am I living Him? Am I walking in obedience? Am I holding fast to Him? I’m convicted about the fact that many times I’m not holding fast to Him. Im holding fast to my own comforts and desires. So many of my days are full of hard work with the desire of “downtime” at the end of the day. Relaxing is definitely needed for every person, but I struggle to hold fast to that desire as the goal of every day rather than holding fast to the Lord.
I so understand and struggle with the same thing. I too feel like I “need” downtime but often spend too much of my time on downtime and not enough on finding time to be with God.
Hi all, I struggled to understand this verse in Matthew also: if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off… My evil eyes are constantly causing me to sin and so do my hands! Please pray that I use my hands to help ad love and my eyes to see love
Hi Tatiana, sorry this is late. I think it means that we should cut out bad things in our lives that distract us from loving and serving God. I hope that helps a little! You don’t have to cut off your actual hands don’t worry!
Give water to anyone who asks it.
“He executes justice” That is so encouraging!
12“Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
❤️
I read the bible commentary online along with the verses. It takes a bit longer, but it is SO worth it x
❤️
I’d enjoy something like that as well!
16Take care lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them;
Thank you Alli!
Despite God being the Creator and Beholder of the universe , God chose to love us. And the least He wants us to do is love one another , sharpen each other and continually allow the Holy Spirit to refine us in fire.
❤️
When ppl harm others are they still salty?

The Bible Recap podcast! It has been so good for me and they are 5-8 minutes.

“Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds” what an awesome way to live with God’s word constantly in our heads helping and guiding us!
He stood the child in front of them and said if anyone cares for the least of these..
You have to be willing to serve
7For your eyes have seen all the great work of the Lord that he did.-ellie
12“And now, Israel (and JoAnn), what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
Love the Lord, walk in His ways, and hold fast to Him

Never thought about that. Love it!
Wow, that’s a really profound connection. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for pointing that out!
Oh wow that’s amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Amen and it reminds us All we Need is Him and Him Alone!!

We just had a sermon on this Sunday. Our pastor said hearts is meant “mind” and to pull away the old teachings and open our minds to Jesus.
12:4 ‘You shall not act like this toward the Lord your God. 5 ‘But you shall seek the Lord at the place which the Lord your God will choose…
12:30 beware that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’ 31 ‘You shall not behave thus toward the Lord your God

Cut away the darkness– circumcise your heart
My understanding: Get rid of the fleshly, sensual things im your heart
Deuteronomy 10:12 “Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul”. To love God and do what He says. It seems so simple. Until you try to do it. Then it seems so incredibly hard, even impossible. The harder I try, the faster I fail.
That’s because we can’t do it on our own. It is only through the Lord that we have any hope of honoring him with our lives!
