Today's Reading is Deuteronomy 30...
My thoughts on today's reading...
If I were to ask you what your favorite chapter of Deuteronomy is, what would you say... as I paged back through my journaling Bible which I've been using this year with our readings, I found quite a few possibilities, but in rereading Chapter 30, I know it is absolutely my favorite. There is just so much memorable pats to this chapter.
There is the reminder that if they found themselves in trouble, if they return to the Lord, He promises to restore them! Then comes verse 9, which I think is an important verse. Compare it to Jeremiah 31:31-34, where Jeremiah says a similar thing to God's people many years after Moses, but just as true, even more so for we who live after the coming of the Messiah.
And then comes the closing verses, which I just find so beautiful. I love the contrast of choosing life or death, with obvious strong encouragement by Moses to these people he has led the last 40 years to make the best choice... to choose life. The Lord invites heaven and earth to witness that He sets a choice before His people, and encourages them to choose life! Not to bad of advice for us either!
