Deuteronomy 10:12-11:32 And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, …

April 4 / Deuteronomy 9:1-10:11
Deuteronomy 9:1-10:11 Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out before you, “It is because of my righteousness that the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,” whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is driving them out before you. …
April 3 / Deuteronomy 8
Deuteronomy 8 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Take care …
April 2 / Deuteronomy 7
Deuteronomy 7 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God Who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations, and repays to their face those who hate Him, by destroying them. He will not be slack with one who hates Him. …
April 1 / Deuteronomy 6

Deuteronomy 4:1-40 Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since you saw no form on the day that the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves… And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see …
March 29 / Deuteronomy 3
Deuteronomy 3 And I [Moses] commanded Joshua at that time, “Your eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. So will the LORD do to all the kingdoms into which you are crossing. You shall not fear them, for it is the LORD your God Who fights for …
March 28 / Deuteronomy 2
Deuteronomy 2 Rise up, set out on your journey and go over the Valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession, and contend with him in battle. And the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have begun to give …
March 27 / Deuteronomy 1
Deuteronomy 1 Today Search the Scriptures has us returning to the Old Testament to go through the book of Deuteronomy. Please take a minute or two to read the introductory section of our February 21, 2023 post. I’ll wait… As is true for much of the rest of Deuteronomy, this first chapter recounts history that …
