Bible Reading Challenge Week 12 Day 5

Our reading challenge for the day is Deuteronomy 26-30. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?

Deuteronomy 26 - The first of our increase is given by faith to the Lord who rpovides all we need. This is a testimony to God’s faithfulness.

Deuteronomy 27-28 - The people of Israel set up monuments to remember God’s faithfulness, not for their obedience. God proclaims his curse on our disobedience and his blessing on obedience. Yet it is Jesus who is obedient on our behalf. All God’s blessings are upon his people on account of Christ’s righteousness.

Deuteronomy 29-30 - God’s mercy calls his people to repentance and faith. He will never desert them. All our trials are for one purpose, to show our need to trust in the Lord.
