DEUTERONOMY 29-30:
Yesterday in Deuteronomy Moses ratcheted up the
fear index to the red level. And the scary thing about the threats
he used to motivate the people to obedience is that they later all
came true, as we will see in books like Judges and 2
Kings.
PSALM 65:
Today’s Psalm is a hymn of joy and mighty
praise.
ACTS 17:
Yesterday we heard of how Paul and Silas were
beaten and put in jail. This was as a result of freeing a slave
girl from demonic bondage. Their overnight in jail led to the
jailer and his family becoming followers of Christ. But the next
day, as requested, Paul and Silas left town.
NLT Translation notes:
Ps.
73:27 Those who desert [You, O Lord//him] will
perish,
for
you destroy those who abandon you.
28
But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I
have made [You O//the] Sovereign LORD my
shelter,
and
I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.
