Today's reading from Joshua 1-4
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.
Joshua 2
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.
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.

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 32-34
Deuteronomy 32-34
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.
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 from Deuteronomy 30-31
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 life and 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 from Deuteronomy 28-29
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.
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 from Deuteronomy 24-27
Deuteronomy 24 deals with various laws dealing with marriage (v.1 -5) involving divorce and a newly-wed husband stay at home with his wife for one year before going off to war. There are other laws related to masters and servants (6-18) and the rich and poor (19-22).
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.
Deuteronomy 26 deals with firsrtfruits 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.
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 commanments. 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.

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 21-23
Deuteronomy 21 deals unsolved murders (1-9). The elders from the nearest town were take a heifer that has never worked or worn a yoke, and lead it to a valley that has never plowed or planted which had a flowing stream. They were to break the neck of the heifer. The elders were to declare that they were not involve in the shedding of that blood and asked God to atone for this Israel and not hold the people guilty so they would be purged from spilling innocent blood. What about Jesus' blood which was innocent. Pilate could not find Him guilty. Murder was a serious matter to God. The people would not be held guilty or the land polluted from innocent blood (Deut 19.10-13). Rules were given in marrying a captive woman (v.10-14). These women were not from Canaan (Deut 7.1-4), the Israelite men were allowed to marry but there must not be any abuse to the woman such as selling her or treating her as a slave. The right of first born (v. 15-17) was discussed where if the firstborn belongs to the unloved wife, that son would have the right of the first born, and get a double share. The story of Jacob with his wives would apply in this case. A rebellious son (v. 18-21) was put to death. This was contrary to honoring father and mother.
Deuteronomy 21.22-23.30 discuss various laws which must be kept. Verse 22, it was mentioned if a man is hung on a tree for a capital offense, his body cannot be left overnight, but should be buried on the same day because anyone who is hung on a tree is undere God's curse. The land must not be desecrated. Notice Jesus was hung on a cross, and this situation applies. He was under God's curse. 2Corinthians 5.21 says
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might have the righteousness of God.

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 21-23
Deuteronomy 21 deals unsolved murders (1-9). The elders from the nearest town were take a heifer that has never worked or worn a yoke, and lead it to a valley that has never plowed or planted which had a flowing stream. They were to break the neck of the heifer. The elders were to declare that they were not involve in the shedding of that blood and asked God to atone for this Israel and not hold the people guilty so they would be purged from spilling innocent blood. What about Jesus' blood which was innocent. Pilate could not find Him guilty. Murder was a serious matter to God. The people would not be held guilty or the land polluted from innocent blood (Deut 19.10-13). Rules were given in marrying a captive woman (v.10-14). These women were not from Canaan (Deut 7.1-4), the Israelite men were allowed to marry but there must not be any abuse to the woman such as selling her or treating her as a slave. The right of first born (v. 15-17) was discussed where if the firstborn belongs to the unloved wife, that son would have the right of the first born, and get a double share. The story of Jacob with his wives would apply in this case. A rebellious son (v. 18-21) was put to death. This was contrary to honoring father and mother.
Deuteronomy 21.22-23.30 discuss various laws which must be kept. Verse 22, it was mentioned if a man is hung on a tree for a capital offense, his body cannot be left overnight, but should be buried on the same day because anyone who is hung on a tree is undere God's curse. The land must not be desecrated. Notice Jesus was hung on a cross, and this situation applies. He was under God's curse. 2Corinthians 5.21 says
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might have the righteousness of God.
Social Concerns in the Covenant, See Table 3

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 17-20
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?
Deuteronomy 18 deals with the offerings for priests and Levites (v. 1-8) and detestable practices (v.9-13) and the role of the Prophet (v. 14-21). God provide food for the priests and Levite through the sacrifices. He takes of those who serve Him. As for detestable practices, He warned the Israelites not to learn from the inhabitants in Canaan. Do not learn such practices such as divination, demonism, witchcraft, or practice spells. It is very common today, the is a fascination with the spiritual world. We should have no part in this. Finally there is a prophecy of Christ in verse 15 and 17. We need to test when someone said that they have the Word of God or that he is a Christian. There are many false prophets running around today. Test the internet sites that you visit against the Word of God to see whether it is authentic.
Deuteronomy 19 spoke about the Cities of Refuge (Deut 19.1-14; Num 35.6-34; Deut 4.41-43; Josh 20.1-9) and about witnesses. One witness was not enough but two or three are needed. Moses warned against perjury.
Deuteronomy 20 spoke about the rules of war. God was in front of them granting them victory. God wanted the Israelites to realize that the cities that the Israelites would have as an inheritance must have all its inhabitants killed. This is horrific in human terms but God does not want the Israelites to be contaminated by idolatry, and detestable practices. what about us. All the spiritual strongholds in our lives must be destroyed.
