I know I'm a day late with this post. But yesterday was a busy day. So here are some of the thoughts I had as I read this week:
Quote:
“Og king of Bashan was the last remaining Rephaite. His bed, made of iron, was over thirteen feet long and six wide. You can still see it on display in Rabbah of the People of Ammon.” (Deuteronomy 3:11).
Thought:
A bed...made of iron...what were they thinking? I hope it was a pillow-top!
Quote:
“Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that's in you, love him with all you've got!” (Deuteronomy 6:5)
Thought:
It's that easy...and that hard!
Quote:
“The next time your child asks you, "What do these requirements and regulations and rules that God, our God, has commanded mean?" tell your child, "We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt and God powerfully intervened and got us out of that country. We stood there and watched as God delivered miracle-signs, great wonders, and evil-visitations on Egypt, on Pharaoh and his household. He pulled us out of there so he could bring us here and give us the land he so solemnly promised to our ancestors. That's why God commanded us to follow all these rules, so that we would live reverently before God, our God, as he gives us this good life, keeping us alive for a long time to come.” (Dt. 6:20-24)
Thought:
We need to keep re-telling the stories of faith. If not for others...than for ourselves...lest we forget.
