Reading along with us in Deuteronomy and Corinthians? Here’s today’s reading:
Deuteronomy 29 (NIV)
Renewal of the Covenant
1 These are the terms of the covenant the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in Moab, in addition to the covenant he had made with them at Horeb.

They must know the importance of obedience to God and the consequences when they do not. God had revealed Himself to the Israelites so many times, even through His constant provision and protection, still so many times they strayed away. We can’t fool ourselves to think we are any better; all too often we take for granted the power and presence of God in our lives and try to go it alone, put things or people before Him, and the end result is always bad. It is overwhelming to think such a powerful, loving, and merciful God wants to be in covenant with us at all and yet He does!
Deuteronomy 29

Reading this chapter. I shake my head wondering how the nation of Israel so quickly forgot who saw then through the exodus from Egypt. Etc. complaining most of the way. Wait!! Every day my needs are taken care of. Well fed and clothes and so far beyond that. The lord is my provider. I just show up every day. Seek first the kingdom of God. True success will follow. Simple concept just a lot of noise in life to distract us
