Today's reading from Joshua 7-8
Joshua 7
Having experienced the victory at Jericho, Joshua sent spies in Ai. Notice Joshua nor the Israelites asked God for counsel! The spies came back and said that they should send a few thousand men. when the men attacked Ai, they were soundly defeated. (v. 2-5) Joshua prayed to the Lord and asked why it happened (v 6-9). The Lord told Joshua of the sin in the camp. Someone had violated the covenant, the devoted things of God was violated, it was stolen. The people were told to consecrate themselves.They would not win the battle until the issue with the devoted things were corrected. God revealed who the person was after identifying the tribe, clan and family. (v. 10-15). Achan came forward and confess his guilt (v. 16-21). He was identified by tribe, clan and family. He was stoned for his sin v. 22-26). What can we learn from this? To do God's work we have to be faithful in big things and SMALL things. All Achan did was stole silver a robe and a gold wedge, this was a miniscule amount from the things they have captured in Jericho! A small sin can affect your Christian life and ministry. The sin needs to be confessed (1John 1.9), restitution and reconcilation needs to be done as well.


Figure: Achan confesses sin

Joshua 8
God promised Joshua Ai. Now God was INVOLVED. Joshua plans the ambush (3-9), the God's plan was set (10-17), implemented (v. 18-23) and the inhabitants destroyed (24-29), an altar was built at Mount Ebal to the Lord (v. 30-33). Joshua then read all the words of the law- the blessings and the curse. (v. 34-35)

Today's reading from Joshua 6
Joshua 6
Today, we have two situations one had to do with Jericho. God gave specific instructions (v. 1-5) to Joshua to march around the city for six days with the Israelite army. The army were led by the seven priests carrying trumpets of ram's horn in front of the ark. On the seventh day, they were to do everything they had done for six days. They were give a long blast on the trumpet a shout and the walls would collapse. The plan was carried out (v.6-11), they marched around Jericho (12-14). The walls fall, rahab and her family was rescued (v. 20-25). What can we learn from this? If we want victory in our Christian life, we have to do it God's way, not our way. There was no way the Israelites could have captured the city unless God gave it to them. Link to Jericho The Fall of Jericho

Today's reading from Joshua 5
Joshua 5
The Cananites became aware of the Israelites, they knew how God dried up the Jordan. At Gilgal, (v. 2-9) all of the Israelites men had circumcision before entering Canaan. This was to signify consecration and commitment before entering Canaan. Manna stopped falling from heaven the day after they ate food from the land. Joshua saw a man in front of him with a drawn sword. He asked him wheither he was on the side of the Israelites ot the enemy. The man said neither. He was the commander of the army of the Lord. He told told Joshua to take off his sandals he was on holy ground. We must be aware that in the Christian walk and service, we need commitment and consecration and the Lord will be ahead of us in our endeavors.

Today's reading from Joshua 3-4
Joshua 3
The new generation never saw a river or a sea in their lives. They had to cross the Jordan. They were led by Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant leading the Israelites. As soon as the Levites touched the water, it parted, similar to Moses and the people crossing the Red Sea. By faith they cross the Jordan with God leading them. Similarly we have to have faith in God leading us

Joshua 4
When the Israelites cross the Jordan, God told them to pick a representative from each tribe to collect a stone from the Jordan River, which was, at the moment dried up. They were to place all twelve stones in a memorial. Similarly we are suppose to remember what God has done in our lives. Do you have an experience in your Christian life that you can also go back and say this is a time in my life when God has been faithful to me!

Joshua sent spies into Jericho. The king found out spies were in Jericho. Rahab hid them. Spies made oath to spare Rahab and her family. She would leave a scarlet cord as a signal for them to spare the lives of household. Application. The scarlet cord was a type of Christ, just as the blood of the lamb painted on the doorposts in Egypt, the occupants would be safe. Similarly when we put our trust in Christ, we would be safe.

Today's reading from Joshua 1
Joshua 1
God reassures Joshua that as He was with Moses, He would be with Joshua. In verses 6 and 9 God commanded Joshua to be strong and of good courage. Application remember God promises about His presence, he would not leave nor forsake us regardless of the circumstances or responsibility or ministry facing us.

Verses to meditate on:
6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 33-34

Deuteronomy 33 Moses blessed the Tribes of Israel, This is similar to the blessing that Jacob gave to his sons before his death. Since Moses was also the author of Genesis, he probably modeled some of the thoughts from Genesis 49 into this chapter. He reminded the people what the Lord did for them v. 1-5. He then bless the tribes individually for specific comments, please see the commentaries links provided. In verse 7 Moses prayed that the God would protect the tribe of Judah, be his help against his foes. Moses knew that it was through the tribe of Judah that the Messiah would come. In Genesis 49.10. The scepter would not depart from Judah…

Deuteronomy 34 Moses climbed Mount Nebo as God instructed him in chapter 32. The God showed him Canaan. God reminded Moses that he kept his word with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (verse 4). Moses was allowed to see the land but did not cross into it. God buried Moses in Moab, to this day nobody knows where Moses was buried. Joshua succeeded Moses and was prepared to lead them into Canaan.

A tribute was made to Moses (v. 10-12). Moses died at one hundred and twenty years old. D.L. Moody, the American evangelist said that Moses spent Forty years thinking he was somebody. Forty years learning that he was nobody. Forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody. See Hebrew 11.23-29.

Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 32

Deuteronomy 32
Moses wrote the song and recited the words in Deuteronomy 31.30-47. This is similar to Exodus 15.1-18. The outline of this chapter was taken from Guzik’s commentary: The song included the theme that God is the Rock (v. 4). He recounts how God took care of Jacob and his people but the child, Israel, forsook the father, God (v. 5-6). In verse 7-14 Moses reminded them of God’s goodness, He provide for their needs. In verse 15-18, Israel reacts to God’s mercy with apostasy, they sacrificed to other gods, demons. In verse 19-27 God reacted by withdrawing from Israel. In verse 28-43, God made His case and pleads with Israel to return to Him. In verse 44-47 Moses encouraged the people to obey carefully the words of the law. The word Rock stood out (verses 4, 13, 15, 18, 30, 31, 37). God is the Rock that provide a firm foundation for them to build on. He protects them from the storms of life.
God told Moses that Moses that he would died on Mount Nebo. He would be gathered among the people just as his brother Aaron. He would not enter Canaan broke faith with God at the waters of Meribah Kadesh. Moses would be allowed to see the land from a distance.

Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 30

Deuteronomy 30
God reminded the Israelites when they experience all the curse and blessings (Deut 28), they are dispersed among the nations, and they decide to return to the Lord and obey Him, then the Lord will restore their fortunes, have compassion on them and gather them from all nations. We see this happening in 516 B.C. when the temple was rebuilt in Jerusalem, and shortly afterward with the return of Ezra and Nehemiah.
We also see the Israelites returned to Palestine in 1948 and recaptured Jerusalem in 1967. Some of the prophecies have yet to be fulfilled when Jesus returns ant he Millenial Kingdom of a thousand years arrive.
In verse 11.20, to summarize, God is offering the people to choose between death and life. In verse 15. See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. In the same way, Jesus talks about the narrow way and the broad way. Two paths, one leads to eternal life and the other to eternal destruction -Matt 7.23-24. Can we say like Joshua, As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 29

In Deuteronomy 29, The Covenant is renewed. We need to be constantly reminded about trusting and obeying God. We need to remember what God has done in our lives, we need to remember past experiences in which He was faithful and remember He will be faithful in the future. The people of Israel had the Mosaic Covenant renewed. Our Covenant with God takes us on a higher plain with God. Jesus died for us, that is conditional, but God expects us to go beyond the Ten Commandments and look at our intent even before the act is commited. This is based on the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7.

Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 28

In Deuteronomy 28 is a list of blessing and curse. If you obey, you get blessing. (verse 2-14) If you disobey you get the curse. Notice the blessings are the opposite of the curse in verse 15-44 The one curse which caught was in verse 64 Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods-gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. Israel has been scattered over the face of the earth from 722 B.C. when the ten tribes went to Assyria and 586 B.C. when the remaining tribe went to Babylon. Then in A.D. 70 Rome sacked Jerusalem and the Jews have been scattered and persecuted. The greatest persectuion was under Hitler, where 6 million Jews died. They returned to Palestine in 1948 and recpatured Jerusalem in 1967. This is all part of God's timing. How does this apply to us. Very simply you obey God, blessing; you disobey God you get discipline or curses. Gal 6.7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 27

In Deuteronomy 27 (v.1-8), when the Israelites cross the Jordan into Canaan, large stones coated with plaster with the words of the law written on these stones. These stones were taken up to Mount Ebal and an altar built from these stones. Burnt offerings were to be offered, to God. Fellowship offerings were to be sacrificed, eating them in the presence of God. (v. 9-26) Moses told them that they had become God's people and that they should obey the commandments. He also told them when they cross the Jordan, some tribes were to bless the people, other tribes were to pronounce curses. These curses were pronounced on those who did not obey the commandments or laws and regulations.

Deuteronomy 26 deals with firstfruits and tithes. The people were suppose to honor God by giving Him some fo the first fruit to the priest as an offering. They were to declare to the priest the wonderful things that God did in delivering them from Egypt. The people were to rejoice before the Lord for all the good things that He gave them and their household.
The Israelites were to set a tenth of all their produce in the third year, the year of the tithe. This was to be given to the Levite, the alien, the fatherless and the widow so that they would have enough to eat. The Lord also commanded them to follow His commandments.

Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 25

Deuteronomy 25 deals with treating people fairly in a court system. (v.1-3) Treating an animal fairly such as an ox on verse 4. Do not muzzle the ox while it is threading out grain. There is the continuation of the family name if one brother dies, then his widow must marry his brother to keep the family name. We saw this in Mark 12.19 when the Sadducees try to trap him with the seven brothers who were married to the one woman in keeping with this law. v. 13 -16 talks about using similar weights in a bag. They were to show fairness in their balances to ensure accurate and honest weights so there would not be cheating. God wants us to be honest in our dealings with each other and non-Christians.

READING LIST FOR LAW AND HISTORY

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 17

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: Deuteronomy 17

Deuteronomy 17 deals with worshiping other gods (v. 1-7, law courts (8-13), appointment of a king (v.15-20) God was very strict about worshiping other god because it was detestable to Him and the penalty is death. Who is the god of your life? Is it God or a god such as pleasure, ambition, money, or a car?
We must understand that He is a jealous GOD. God takes the law courts very seriously. The parties involved must accept the verdict of the judge or the priest. There was no room for appeals as it is today where the judicial system has gone corrupt. If there was a contempt of the priest or judge, they would be put to death. God was their King in the time of Moses. God is a just God and He requires His people to act justly.
This is what is called a theocracy but God foreknew the problems Israel would have with human kings so he was trying to prepare them for that some 400 years later. Most of the kings were very evil in the divided kingdom of Israel and Judah. Who should be the king of life be?

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 16

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: Deuteronomy 16

Deuteronomy 16
The Passover, The Feast of Weeks, Feast of Tabernacles were discussed. Here ares some links that will elaborate on them. The Passover reminds of Jesus dying for our sins (John 1.29). The Second Feast, The Feast of Weeks or Pentecost was when the Holy Spirit was given and the church was born in Acts 1. The last feast, The Feast of Tabernacles speaks of Jesus second return. These were all held annually. We should ask ourselves the following questions. Am I saved? have I experience the Holy Spirit in my life and am I ready for the Lord to come back?

The Passover and the Unleavened bread (Lev 23.4-8; Exo 12.4-20; Num 28.16-25; Deut 16.1-8),


Feast of the Weeks (Lev 23.15-22; Num 28.26-31; Deut 16.9-12);

the Feast of the Tabernacles (Lev 23.33-43; Num 29.12-39; Deut. 16.13-17).

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 15

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: Deuteronomy 15

Deuteronomy 15 deals with the Year of the Jubilee, the year of canceling debt and freeing servants. See Jubilee Link. Deuteronomy 15.1-11 and Lev 25.8-38 is the year to cancel debts. Deut 15.12-18; Exo 21.2-6 and Deut 15.12-28 along with Lev 25.38-55 speak about freeing servants. We also have the Year of Jubilee in the sense that our debts were cancelled and we were set free by the death of Jesus on the cross. We must either respond or reject the Gospel message. Paul said that we should own no one anything but love (Rom 12.8).

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 14

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: Deuteronomy 14

Deuteronomy 14 deals with two topics clean and unclean food (Leviticus 13.1-23) and Tithes (V. 22-28) The issue of clean and unclean food was brought up because of public health reasons. Link to clean and unclean food Many of these animals were scavengers. The Bible is very particular about pigs. Pork if not properly cooked has many parasites attached to them. God knows what He is talking about. We should be careful what we eat because ur body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.(1Cor 3.16).
The second issue is tithing, the idea of ten per cent came up in this passage. Are we subject to tithing? Are we required to give ten percent of our income? The answer is no! We have to realize that we are stewards of our body, money and time, and God owns it ALL. In that perspective, we are then subject to more than ten percent of our income.2 Cor 9.7 "Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 13

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: Deuteronomy 13

Deuteronomy 13
He warned about people who would deceive them about worshipping other gods. He warned that He was testing the people whether they would follow the Only True God or follow after other gods. He warned about false prophets, even relatives, spouses, friends who would try to turn away from the One True God. The punishment for deceiving someone away from God was death. What about us, today? We need to be on our guard, because there are false prophets and antichrists who would tell us lies about who God and Jesus is. There are many resources on the Internet, but be very careful about your selction of the site. They may call themselves a Christian Website but in actuality, are heretical. A good site to visit is the Watchman.org website. It exposes false prophets and cults. Another good site is full of resources in how to defend your faith is the CARM site.

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: Deuteronomy 11
Today's reading from Deuteronomy 11

Deuteronomy 11 starts with the word love. The word love is mentioned some 21 times in the NIV. We must not forget that behind the Ten Commandments is the motive of love. If we love the Lord our God with all our hearts, soul and strenght, and our neighbor, we would not break the Ten Commandments. Notice the action words again Love the Lord (v.1); remember (2-7); observe (v.8); obey (v.13); be careful (v.16). These words are repeated over and over again for our benefit, because when it comes to the things of God, we are short-sighted. In verse 26 God said to the people, "See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse".. everything mentioned from verse 26-32 and in Deuteronomy 27 and 28 is conditional on the word IF. What about us, we should pay attention to the action words we just mentioned and realize that some of the promises of God are conditional, based on a little word such as IF or BUT, etc.
