Joshua 1-4 The man Joshua was born in Egypt. He followed Moses through the desert for over 40 years faithfully. When Moses went into the tent to talk to God, he stood guard outside. When Moses was done and went to speak to the people, Joshua remained behind at the door of the tent of […]
Deut 33-34, Psalm 91 How comforting to know that God has angelic warriors around us in the past and even now when we do not understand or fear the unknown. Moses knew this truth: his faithfulness is like a shield surrounding us when the terrors of the day or night happen. God will order His […]
Deut 30-32 and Ps 90 What are my choices today? What is your legacy; what will you leave behind when the time comes for you to enter eternity? Moses inaugurates Joshua to lead, and he challenges him to choose life which is really to choose God and His ways. He didn’t challenge him to work harder, be stronger, […]
Deut 29 God’s plan is pretty simple: obedience leads to blessing, and disobedience leads to curses. Ironically we are much like the Israelites, a stubborn people. Hypocritically, we want to come to God on our terms, not His, and then we wonder why we are faced with such grievous lives. Deut 29:19 “It shall be […]
Deut 24 to 27 At first glance, we might think that God cares very little for each one of us, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Take the case of the divorced woman in Deut 24. We have no clues as to why her husband decided to divorce her. We aren’t told what […]
Deut 21-22 God cares for the insignificant and the mighty. God cares for the little birds, and He cares for the women. In all of this, the principle is: That it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days. Today, our young people face many challenges. All that is happening today is […]
Deut 17-20 Our US system of justice follows these patterns that Moses gave the Israelites. Just like then, so today, we must not judge a person based on the evidence of one witness but rather have at least two. This is impartial judging and brings forth truth rather than what is false. Any death is […]
Deut 14-16 Today, we have a plethora of so-called experts on everything from climate change to the diets we are to use. “sigh” If there are any real experts, please stand up! That is where God comes in and says, listen, I am the expert, and I know what is best for you, and I […]
Deut 8-9 Paul wrote to the Ephesians to remind them that God is a promise keeper. He blessed them with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms. We once “were” but now “are” free from the shackles of sin. Moses, in essence, is saying that to the wandering Israelites who are now poised to enter […]
Deut 5-7 God Loves You!The wandering Israelites are now ready to shed the past and move into the future. God allows Moses to speak to their hearts which are questioning their status. Moses reminded them that God is a God of love but also a God of justice. He had already told them: Num 23:19, […]
