Our reading challenge for the day is Deuteronomy 16-20. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
Deuteronomy 16 - The yearly calendar of Israel has observances which remind God’s people of his provision in the past and which foreshadow his work in Christ. Do we keep the work of Christ before us regularly?
Deuteronomy 17 - Justice includes examination of the facts and understanding of God’s Word. How often we forget both! The righteous king is a man of God’s word. Observe that the kings of Israel were generally not that faithful.
Deuteronomy 18 - See the prophet raised up like Moses - see Jesus as the fulfillment of all the Scripture.
Deuteronomy 19 Think about all the ways a city of refuge is NOT a “get out of jail free” card.
Deuteronomy 20 - Sometimes people say “one man and God is a majority.” Is it not rather that God is all?
