Throught the Bible in one year.

Deuteronomy 8 - 10

Chapter 8

v. 1 - 10 [The Lord?s Provision in the Desert] The Lord provided for you, your clothes never wore out, you were fed daily with Manna, God was humbling you, take that to heart. Remember what happened and know what a father does to a son, disciplining him so he will learn, so God will do with you. Follow His commands and enter into the promised land.

v. 11 - 20 [Exhortation to Remember That Blessing Comes from God] Again remember who it is that is providing this all for you, God, not yourself. God brought you through the desert, and will bless you in the land, honor Him for it.

Chapter 9

v. 1 - 6 [Theological Justification of the Conquest] You are about to cross the Jordan and take the land. God will take these people out for you, not because of you righteousness but because of their wickedness {Thought, does God still do that in our lives today?] In fact you are a stubborn group pf people ( he really loves to insult this group doesn't he?) [note: stubborn translate thick necked, the picture of an animal that will not submit to the reign, or will bend its neck to carry its share of the load, are they still in the church today? Am I one of them?]

v. 7 - 24 [The History of Israel?s Stubbornness] Moses reiterates the Golden calf issue, and how he had to pray for their deliverance.

v. 25 - 29 [Moses? Plea on Behalf of the Lord?s Reputation] Moses continues that his prayers delivered them from death, but that the people would die in the wilderness.

Chapter 10

v. 1 - 5 [The Opportunity to Begin Again] Moses talks: This time I made an ark, then I ascended the mountain and got the tablets again. I cam down put them in the Ark and they are still there.

v. 6 - 11 [Conclusion of the Historical Resume] So we moved out, Aaron died and was buried, and we traveled from area to area.

v. 12 - 22 [An Exhortation to Love Both God and People] Remember how powerful the Lord your God is, Keep his commandments, and lastly, love Him, and Love your fellow man as well.
