Today’s Chapters: Deuteronomy 33-34
Pete’s Thoughts:
Deuteronomy 33
Just like the patriarchs before him, Moses gives his blessing to the people before he dies. He blesses each, what is now, tribe of the children of Israel. Through this, God allows Moses to peel back the mists of time and speak with the prophetic tongue of the Spirit.
Deuteronomy 34
Moses [...]

Today’s Chapters: Deuteronomy 28-32
Pete’s Thoughts:
Deuteronomy 28
Just like any parent, God desires His children to follow Him and be obedient to what He tells them. God promises blessings for obedience to His commandments. The amazing thing is that God is capable of fulfilling His blessings. It’s such a simple thing that sometimes we overlook it – [...]

Today’s Chapters: Deuteronomy 23-27
Pete’s Thoughts:
Deuteronomy 23
In the midst of this chapter on various laws, the people are reminded again to uphold their vows. When a man commits his word, he is to stick to it. Their faithfulness to their word is a reflection on the faithfulness of God to His word.

Today’s Chapters: Deuteronomy 18-22
Pete’s Thoughts:
Deuteronomy 18
When the people met with God in Horeb they could not stand to hear the voice of the Lord directly. Thus they told Moses to go up and intercede for them. God promised a time would come when He would meet with mankind face to face. He told them there [...]

Today’s Chapters: Deuteronomy 13-17
Pete’s Thoughts:
Deuteronomy 13
Serving the Lord is the most important this for our lives as well as the lives of the Israelites. God did not want them to be led astray so He told them what to do when someone tries to lead them away from God. They were to not listen to [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 32
Today’s Chapters: Deuteronomy 8-12
Pete’s Thoughts:
Deuteronomy 8
It is important for everyone to remember the Lord. It was important for the Isrealites especially. They had seen firsthand what God could do for them when they followed Him as well as what He would allow to happen to them when they didn’t follow Him. As Christians, we too [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 31
Today’s Chapters: Deuteronomy 3-7
Pete’s Thoughts:
Deuteronomy 3
Moses pleads with the Lord to let him enter the Promised Land. We see from his life that while God forgives our sins, we still have to deal with the consequences of them. Moses struck the rock when God told him to speak to it. If you commit a murder [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 30
Today’s Chapters: Numbers 34-Deuteronomy 2
Pete’s Thoughts:
Numbers 34
It is important, when entering a new area, to know the bounds of your habitation. God took the time to clearly define the area to which He was giving the Israelites. This would give them an idea of the size and the amount of the blessing that God was [...]

Today’s Chapters: Numbers 29-33
Pete’s Thoughts:
Numbers 29
God covers the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Notice that for the feast of Trumpets and Tabernacles the Lord says, “You shall do no customary work.” It is only for the Day of Atonement that God tells them not to do any work. When [...]

Today’s Chapters: Numbers 24-28
Pete’s Thoughts:
Numbers 24
This chapter bring the story of Balaam to a conclusion. Balak is upset that Balaam will not curse Israel but instead continues to bless them. I love how Balaam reminds Balak that the gift he has is from God and he cannot go against what the Lord says. Instead he [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 27
Today’s Chapters: Numbers 19-23
Pete’s Thoughts:
Numbers 19
Cleanliness is an important thing. Especially in a group of a million or more that is on the move. Thus, the nation needed to know what was clean and what was unclean, how to determine the difference and how to make the unclean clean again.

This is a sad chapter. [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 26
Today’s Chapters: Numbers 14-18
Pete’s Thoughts:
Numbers 14
The people rejected the command of the Lord. They believed what the ten spies said about the inhabitants of the land. They looked at God as a small God who was not capable of leading them against the giants of the land. These people saw the 10 plagues in Egypt, [...]

Today’s Chapters: Numbers 4-8
Pete’s Thoughts:
Numbers 4
Among the Levites, there was a second census taken – that of the sons of Kohath. It was important to know the numbers of these men because it was their specific duty to move the Tabernacle when every the Israelites moved camp. This was a vastly important duty since the [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 23
Today’s Chapters: Leviticus 26-Numbers 3
Pete’s Thoughts:
Leviticus 26
Look at the promises that God makes in this chapter. Promises of blessings and safety and a prosperous land. All of this comes from following the Lord. The other side, however, the curses and the judgment come from disobedience to the commandments of the Lord. It is our choice [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 22
Today’s Chapters: Leviticus 16-20
Pete’s Thoughts:
Leviticus 16
This chapter covers the Day of Atonement – the one day out of the year that the High Priest would enter the Holy of Holies and offer sacrifices of atonement before God. This was a solemn act and not one to be taken lightly.
Leviticus 17
The life of all flesh is [...]
