Day 14: 90-Day Bible Challenge

Day 14: 90-Day Bible Challenge

Today’s reading:
Duet. 8:1-23:11

A thought or two:
In chapter 8 God tells Israel to be careful to follow His commands so that they might live in His blessing. From there He continues to remind Israel where they came from and all that He has done for them. How he led them, fed them, provided for them, disciplined them, and brought them into a great land.

You know, sometimes it is good just to sit back and think about all that God has done in your life. How He saved you from a life of sin. How he has healed you. How He has spoken to you. How He has provided for you. Remembering where you came from can be a very healthy thing if you can look back at your past and say, “Wow, God has brought me a long way”. Don’t beat yourself up over your past, but rejoice that your past is your past and you have created together with God a rich history of knowing His grace in your life.

It is a whole lot easier to follow God out of a proper understanding of who He is and how He relates to your life. A proper attitude towards God is an attitude of thankfulness.

Titus 1:1 “…the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness”

Tomorrow’s reading:
Duet. 23:12-34:12
