Fear the Lord: How to hunger after God

Filed Under: Bible Study, Deuteronomy // November 5, 2024

This Bible study is all about what it means to fear the Lord and hunger after God, as shown in Deuteronomy 8-11.

As Moses continues to give God’s law to the new generation of Israelites before they enter the Promised Land, he reminds them of their future prosperity there. But this encouragement does not come without warning. They will need to be careful not to forget the Lord – something that is easy to do when living in prosperity. They will need to remember that their success has nothing to do with thier own righteousness, because they are just the instrument God has chosen to use. And they must also remember to observe all of God’s commands and decrees if they want to continue living in the blessings God has given them.

Read about what it means to fear the Lord, before reflecting on it below.

Deuteronomy 8-11

Hunger for God

When the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, God provided for their hunger by giving them manna. God used their physical hunger to humble them and test them. Not because God needed to know what was in their hearts but because they did not know themselves. In the same way, God uses many forms of hunger in our own lives to humble and test us. We may hunger for the right job, the perfect husband, or the aesthetic kitchen. Growing in our relationship with God means realizing that He is the only One who can satisfy. We should hunger for Him and His word daily, as it was intended to be our daily bread.

What do you hunger for? How can you increase your hunger for God and His word (John 6:35)?

Fear the Lord – Do not forget Him

God was going to lead the Israelites into a prosperous land where they could reap what they did not sow and live in houses they did not build. Although this land was a blessing, it could become a curse if the Israelites let it. During times of prosperity, when you finally have everything you’ve worked for or dreamed of, it can be easy to forget the God who led you there. Moses cautioned the Israelites for this reason. He did not want a season of blessing and abundance to be the reason they stopped seeking the lord.

Are you faithfully seeking the Lord in your current season (Acts 17:27)?

Not because of your righteousness

Three times in three verses (Deuteronomy 9:4-6), the same idea is repeated. It was “not because of the Israelites’ righteousness” that they would possess the Promised Land. The reason God was giving it to them was because of the Oath he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God was also using the Israelites to drive out the Canaanites because of how wicked they were, despite opportunities of repentance. Moses repeats this phrase because the Israelites need to understand that they will never be righteous without a savior.

Are you tempted to think that you’ve achieved or been given something because of your righteousness (Romans 3:20-24)?

Fear the Lord by remembering rebellion

Moses reminds the Israelites of their rebellion in the Wilderness after just receiving the Word of God from Mount Sinai. The Israelites had just witnessed the fire of God and heard His voice, yet when Moses left to meet with God, they faltered. In their weakness, they chose to make an idol instead of trusting in God’s Word. Here, Moses does not remind them of their rebellion to discourage them or make them feel defeated. Rather, he intends to encourage them because they can trust God in their weakness. The entire wilderness wanderings are marked by rebellion, yet God remains faithful and has brought them to the Promised land.

Are you struck by shame or guilt from your past? How can (and does) God use your past rebellion for His glory (Romans 8:28)?

Renewed Covenant

When Moses came down the mountain and saw the sin of the people, he broke the stone tablets, signifying Israel’s broken covenant with God. When God restored the relationship, He gave Moses new tablets with the same words written on them. God’s word and His commandments did not change because the Israelites sinned. Instead, they remained exactly the same.

Do you feel that God’s thoughts toward you have changed because of past rebellion? What is the truth about God that you find in the scripture (Malachi 3:6-7)?

Fear the Lord

As the Israelites prepared to walk into the Promised Land, God summarized His law by asking, “What does the Lord require of you?”. Here, we are given the answer. We are to fear the Lord, showing reverence for who He is and what He has done. We are to walk in obedience to Him, following His ways t shown to us in Scripture. To love God and show Him the worship that is due to Him. We are to serve Him joyfully in whatever roll He has placed us. And we are to observe His commands, obeying them even when it is difficult.

How do you fear the Lord in your daily life (Micah 6:8)?

Observe the commands

The Israelites were called to faithfully keep the commands of the Lord. This was done in part by remembering what God had done for them in the past. How God had reconciled Himself with the Israelites in spite of their rebellion against Him. It was because of the faithfulness of God that the Israelites should observe His commands and fear Him. The Israelites were also called to obey the commands as a condition of living in the Promised Land. This condition did not exist as a way to control the Israelites’ lives, but rather because God’s perfect law gives freedom. Living in obedience to the commands would ensure a long, contented life as they trusted in God for His provision.

Do you observe the commands of God? If you do, what is your motive? If you don’t, what is the reason (Psalm 103:7-18)?

grow in relationship with God — Growing in your relationship with God is a daily discipline.

Fix these words in your heart

Israel was called to fix the Words of God in their heart. To talk about them when they sat at home, walked along the road, laid down, and got up. The Word of God was to be ever-present in their lives, with reminders on their door frames and symbols on their hands. They were called to read and know the Word of God. But more importantly, they were called to treasure it. To take joy in the wisdom, comfort, and guidance it brought.

How much do you treasure the Word of God? Is it a constant conversation in your life, or do you reserve cracking the pages open for Sundays (Psalm 1:1-2)?

Reflect on what it mean to fear the Lord

So much of this section on fearing the Lord has to do with remembering the faithfulness of God in our rebellion and choosing to observe His word as a result of our gratitude and love toward Him. How do you fear the Lord practically, on a day-to-day basis? Take a moment to reflect on the faithfulness of God in your life.

This Bible study was about how the Israelites were called to fear the Lord in Deuteronomy 8-11.

All of God’s commands are rooted in love – that’s why we follow them

Filed Under: Bible Study, Deuteronomy // October 8, 2024

This post is all about how God’s commands are rooted in love and what our response to them should be because of who God is.

Deuteronomy is known as the “second law” because Moses expounds on the law already given to the Israelites. In these chapters, Moses reminds the Israelites that God made the covenant with them and rescued them from the land of Slavery. He makes it plain that all of God’s commands are rooted in love. It is the Israelite’s job to not only know the commands but follow them wholeheartedly because of the God they serve.

Deuteronomy 5-7

Your part in the covenant

Before Moses reminds the Israelites of the Ten Commandments given at Mount Sinai, he begins by affirming a crucial truth: the covenant God made was not only with their ancestors who stood at Sinai, but with every subsequent generation. This includes us today. Each generation, and each individual, must personally embrace their place in God’s covenant to experience its full blessings.

Do you recognize your part in the bigger covenantal picture of God (Jeremiah 31:31-34)?

Why keep the commands?

The foundation for following God’s commands is laid out plainly in Deuteronomy 5:6: “I am the Lord your God.” The only reason needed for following the commandments is based on who God is and what He has already done for us. Obedience isn’t rooted in a fear of consequences or a desire for reward, but in who God is and what He has done. For the Israelites, God delivered them from slavery in Egypt and preserved them through the wilderness. For us, His grace is evident in countless ways, from answered prayers to undeserved blessings. We don’t follow because of our own merit, but because of His faithfulness. And we don’t keep God’s commands because we are trying to earn His favor. We obey because we are already recipients of His grace and want to live in response to His goodness.

How have you seen the faithfulness of God in your own life? Is His demonstration of faithfulness enough for you to remain faithful to Him (1 Samuel 12:24)?

all of God’s commands are rooted in love

After the Israelites heard the commands given by the voice of God at Mount Sinai, they were afraid that they would be consumed by His great fire and die. They were correct that the commands reminded them that they were unworthy to approach God. He is holy, and they are not. However, God’s commands were not meant to push them away, but to draw them near. They missed the key detail that all of God’s commands are rooted in love. The commands were not given merely to make them afraid in their unworthiness. Instead, it was given to help them draw closer to God while showing them thier need for a savior.

Do you follow God’s commands out of fear of not being good enough? Or do you follow His commands because you see them as an expression of His love (1 John 1:1-5)?

The Lord is One

An important truth is found in Deuteronomy 6:4, which says, “The Lord is One.” This is a case where knowing the original Hebrew is helpful in understanding the scripture. Although the Hebrew word, אֶחָד (‘eḥāḏ), does mean “one” it is often used to refer to multiple parts of the same thing. Other places in the Old Testament that use this word include Genesis 1:5, where there was evening and morning (two parts) on the first (one) day. Genesis 2:24 also used it in saying the two shall become one flesh. God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is One God. As a response to who God is, we must love Him with our heart, soul, and strength.

The trinity of God is seen throughout the Old and New Testament, even though the word “trinity” is never mentioned. How much do you know and understand about this important theological characteristic of God (2 Corinthians 13:14)?

all of God's commands are rooted in love — Why do you follow God’s commands?

reaping what you did not sow

Moses reminds the Israelites that when they enter the Promised Land, they will live in cities they did not build. They will drink from wells they did not dig and eat from which they did not plant. They would be very blessed in the Promised Land, and they would have to be careful that in their prosperity, they did not forget where they came from and how they got there. It is only by the grace of God that they can partake in His blessings.

In the same way, how many things do you have that are gifts from God, yet you fail to thank Him for them (Psalm 100:4)?

tell your children your testimony {How God’s commands are rooted in Love}

Living in the blessings of the Promised Land comes with a responsibility: ensuring that the next generation knows the faithfulness of God. Children won’t know of His past goodness unless parents are intentional about sharing their testimonies. That is why, when the Israelite children ask “what is the meaning of the Law?” the parents are to answer that they were slaves but God brought them out to bring them into something better. The more the younger generation hears the testimony of God’s faithfulness to the older generation, the less likely they will be to forget God and walk away from Him.

Do you tell your children your testimony – How God rescued you from death and brought you to life and freedom in Him? Do you live out your testimony for all to see (Revelation 12:11)?

Working for the promises of God

Although God was going to give the Canaanites over to the Israelites, the battle would not be quick and painless. The Israelites would have to work in order to defeat the Canaanites. And they would have to completely destroy them and their idols before they could live in the Promised land. If they did not, the Canaanites and their gods would turn the Israelites away from the One true God and lead them into false and foreign worship. In the same way, we need to destroy anything that would lead us away from God.

Is there something in your life that you need to completely destroy and turn over to God so that it does not lead you away from Him (Galatians 4:8-9)?

Deuteronomy 6 — I love using tiny letter stamps in my Bible, although this “tell your children” came out super faint because of the ink I used.

Little by little

When the Israelites entered the Promised Land, God would not hand over all of the surrounding nations immediately. Instead, the Israelites would need to rely on God. They would have to trust His timing and listen to His voice for when they would fight the nations. Often, we want immediate victory over the battles we are facing. We don’t want to struggle against an enemy for years on end. Yet, there is often more that can be learned in the waiting than could be if God handed us the solution when we want it.

It can be frustrating to wait on God. However, you can see the wisdom in His timing once the battle has been won. Are you waiting for God to bring you through something right now? How can you stay faithful while waiting (Isaiah 40:31)?

Reflect on God’s commands being rooted in love

Have you seen the evidence of God’s love in His commands before? After reading these chapters, how has your perception of God’s love changed?

Faithfulness and rebellion: How God remains true when we fail

Filed Under: Bible Study, Deuteronomy // September 25, 2024

This Bible Study is all about God’s faithfulness even in our rebellion.

In these first four chapters of Deuteronomy, Moses takes time to remind the Israelites of God’s faithfulness despite their rebellion. Moses hits on key moments that caused the Israelites to wander in the wilderness before encouraging them with their present successes on the East side of the Jordan – just across from the promised land. These chapters then end with an introduction to the law, because following the law is the only way the Israelites will survive as God’s people.

Faithfulness and rebellion — God remains faithful always.

Deuteronomy 1-4

To Expound on the Law

The Israelites are standing on the plains of Moab, able to see across the Jordan and into the promised land. This is the first time the Israelites can see the promise, as the first generation has all died off in the wilderness. Before the Israelites can enter the promised land, however, Moses begins to expound on the law. He needs to remind the Israelites of what it means to be set apart for God, and how to live holy lives once in the promised land. During the book of Deuteronomy, Moses will make plain the Law of God, fully explaining it so that everyone will understand.

As Christians, we are also called to teach the law of God and the good news of the gospel. Are you able to teach the law of God, making it plain for all to understand while explaining it fully (Joshua 1:8)?

How to appoint leaders

In his recounting of Numbers 11, Moses recalls the qualities of a good leader while reminding the Israelites of their need to be led. The elders chosen must be wise, understanding, and respected in their tribes. They must be able to help teach the law of God and to judge in cases where men messed up following the law.

Do you take time to learn wisdom? Are you understanding in your relationships with others or quick to judge their actions? Are you respected in your communities (Proverbs 9:10)?

Listening to men instead of God

When the Israelites had reached the threshold of the Promised Land for the first time, God told them that He was giving it over to them – a land flowing with milk and honey. However, the Israelites did not believe God’s faithfulness and in rebellion, wanted to send spies to assess the land. When they approached Moses with the idea, he agreed that it was good and chose 12 spies to send. This was a decision that would result in 38 years of wandering the wilderness.

Instead of listening to the Israelites, Moses should have consulted God. How often do you listen to man rather than God (Acts 5:29)?

Deuteronomy 1 — I love starting a new book of the Bible! Here I use Micron fine-tip pens and crayola colored pencils.

God loves you

Part of the reason for Israel’s unbelief was their questioning if God really loved them. Even after the miracles they witnessed when God led them out of Egypt, after seeing how God had sustained them thus far with mana from heaven, they chose to rebel against the command of God. The Israelites grumbled and stated “the Lord hates us” instead of focusing on his fulfilled promises and deliverance of the past.

The same is true of many Christians today. Instead of trusting in God’s love, they question it, wondering if God’s love is real. Are you convinced of God’s love for you (Romans 5:8)?

Wanderings in the wilderness

Because of their unfaithfulness, the Israelites were sent to wander the wilderness for 38 years. Some of this time is told of in the Book of Numbers. Yet, in Deuteronomy, Moses chooses to skip over these years, instead focusing on their turning back towards the promised land and the battles they fought leading up to standing in the Moab plains. Moses could have pointed out their unfaithfulness again and again, but he chose to point to God’s faithfulness.

Do you look to your past, beating yourself up over mistakes made? Or do you remember the faithfulness of God to bring you through, praising Him for His kindness (Isaiah 43:18-19)?

Confidence in battle

During their march back toward the promised land, there were some Nations that the Israelites were not allowed to provoke to war. They were not allowed to fight anyone they wished and take their land – even though these nations could have been easily conquered by the Israelites. Instead, they were to trust God, listening to His direction for the land that He would give while reigning in their selfish ambitions. When the time came for the Israelites to fight Sihon king of Heshbon and all his army, they were able to completely destroy the nation. They responded in faith and stated that not one town was too strong for them.

After 38 years of wandering in the wilderness, the Israelites were finally ready to put their faith in God. They listened and trusted God in a battle that they refused to enter years earlier. Has your faith and trust in God grown over the years you have known Him (Psalm 9:10)?

Everything belongs to God

In Numbers 32, the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh received the land on the Eastern side of the Jordan that they had asked for. Now, Moses retells this story, giving special emphasis to the fact that God gave them this land. Three times, the phrase “I gave” is repeated. The land belongs to God and is distributed as God sees fit.

Do you know that everything you have belongs to God (Psalm 24:1)?

Living in Obedience to God’s law

Deuteronomy 4 opens up with the command to listen and obey the law so that they would live. For the Israelites, their physical lives depended on listening to God since they were about to enter into many wars. But their spiritual lives also depended on listening to God’s law so that they did not fall captive to sin when they entered the land. Although their past was marked by rebellion, Moses reminded them that their future could be marked by present obedience and faithfulness to God and His law. If they lived obedient lives, all nations would see that they were God’s chosen people.

Does your life show a stark difference to those living around you because you live by God’s law (Matthew 7:15-20)?

The only response to God’s faithfulness (and it’s not rebellion)

Moses reminds the Israelites of who God is and what He has done for them – rescuing them out of slavery and setting them apart as His chosen nation. The Israelites were shown these many miracles so that they would know that the Lord is God. And the only logical conclusion to knowing God is to keep His decrees and commands.

Moses showed his faithfulness to do as the Lord commanded when he set up three cities of refuge on the East side of the Jordan. We know that God commanded him to set up a total of six cities, but since they had not yet crossed into the promised land, Moses was unable to fulfill the whole command. Yet he did not let himself be idle, but did as much as he could with the resources he had.

Are you doing everything you can to complete what God has called you to? Or are you sitting idle waiting for all of the pieces to fall into place first (Hebrews 6:12)?

Introduction to the law

Deuteronomy 4 ends with an introduction to the second and largest portion of Deuteronomy – a second telling of the law. Moses began the book by reminding them of God’s faithfulness amidst their past rebellion. Now he urges them to be trained in the law so that they do not fall into sin again. Moses knows that if the Israelites are going to conquer and live in the promised land, they will need to have a strong and personal understanding of the law.

Do you know the Law of God? Are you able to follow God’s commands with confidence, or do you sway through life making decisions as you see best (1 Peter 1:14-16)?

Deuteronomy – A Brief Introduction to the last book in the Torah

Filed Under: Bible Study, Deuteronomy // August 23, 2024

This post is all about an introduction to Deuteronomy, giving you enough background information so that you can read it with confidence.

Deuteronomy, in English, means “second law.” This is a fitting title for this recounting of the law as Moses presents it to the new generation getting ready to enter the promised land. And since the book of Deuteronomy is Moses’ passionate retelling, we can see why the Hebrew title means “these are the words.” While these may have been the words of Moses to the Israelites, they hold just as much wisdom and importance for us today.

Introduction to Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy is a passionate retelling of the law to the Israelites, after 40 years of living in the wilderness and experiencing God’s goodness and faithfulness. The book of Deuteronomy can be divided into three main sections, as Moses reminds the people of God’s love and their call to obedience in response to that love.

Remembering God’s Faithfulness

In the first section of Deuteronomy, Moses recounts God’s faithfulness to the Israelites as they wandered in the wilderness. Although the Israelites were quick to rebel against God on many occasions, God remained faithful to them. Moses reminds the Israelites that they should be obedient to God in response to his love, power, and protection of them, which was demonstrated for all to see.

Although the generation of Israelites who had already received the law had all died, the second generation was rising up to take the promised land. They needed to hear God’s word for themselves. Each individual needed to receive God’s law and write it upon his own heart.

The first time that law was given, it was given to the priests so they could serve the people. Now, it was given to the people, because they were entering into a covenant with God.

Love of the Law as a response

This Begins the second section of Deuteronomy. The bulk of this book is made up of law. It restates much of the law that was already given, clarifying some parts after they had lived under it for 40 years. The law was a reminder to the Israelites that they needed to dedicate themselves to only serving and worshiping the One true God of Israel.

Finally, the third section of Deuteronomy records Joshua rising up to take Moses’ place in leading the Israelites into the promised land. Moses has one last recorded song of praise to God and a blessing on the tribes before his death is also recorded.

Key Themes in Deuteronomy

Throughout the book of Deuteronomy, a few things become very clear. The first is God’s love for his people. The second is our response to God’s love should be to obey Him. And third, the Israelites were called to purge all evil from the promised land.

Introduction to Deuteronomy — How do you respond to God’s love?

The W’s of Deuteronomy

Who Wrote Deuteronomy

Moses wrote the majority of the book, and Joshua is most often credited fro writing Deuteronomy 34:5-12, which records Moses’ death.

What it’s about

The book of Deuteronomy is an explanation of the law given to a new generation. It emphasizes God’s love and faithfulness to the Israelites and calls them to obey the Lord their God as a response.

When it was written

Moses wrote Deuteronomy just before his death in 1405 B.C. these were the farewell speeches that Moses spoke a few weeks before his death. He then wrote them down and gave them to the priest and elders to teach the future generations.

Where the story takes place

The book of Deuteronomy occurs on the plains of Moab before the Israelites reach the promised land.

Why Deuteronomy is important to study

The Book of Deuteronomy demonstrates God’s love for His people and our call to obedience as a result. Multiple Old Testament Prophets quote the book of Deuteronomy, and Jesus Himself quotes from it on different occasions, showing the significance of this book.

How God demonstrates His Character to us through Deuteronomy

God is faithful, even when His people are not. The last book of the Torah does not hide the fact that the Israelites had already rejected God many times in their sin, yet God was always quick to forgive. Moses points out that God did not choose the Israelites because of how numerous they were, or how righteous they were. But God chose them because He loved them and kept the oath He swore to Abraham.

In the same way that God kept His promises with the Israelites, so He also keeps His promises with us. He loves you, and because of that love, your response should be to obey Him. We are called to delight in His law and teach it to our Children so that they also take delight in it.

The book of Deuteronomy shows us how to love God and love His creation.

Key Verses in Deuteronomy

The book of Deuteronomy contains so much wisdom that can be applied to our daily lives and walk with Christ. Here are a few of the key verses you will find.

Verses on God’s Faithfulness

Deuteronomy 4:7 is an amazing reminder that God is always near to us. This idea is carried through to the New Testament when James 4:8 tells us to draw near to God and He will draw near to us.

“What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him?”

Deuteronomy 4:29-31 tells us that no matter how unfaithful we have been towards God if we truly repent and turn back to Him, He will remain faithful.

“But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.”

Deuteronomy 7:9 repeats the theme so common to this book: God is faithful. And we are called to keep His commands.

“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.”

Our response to His faithfulness

Perhaps the most famous passage in this book is Deuteronomy 6:4-5, known as the Shema. This passage was so important to the Israelites that they repeated it multiple times a day – a tradition that is still carried on.

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”

Deuteronomy 10:12-13 once again lays out so clearly what is required of us as followers of Christ.

“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?”

Deuteronomy 30:11-14 is a reminder that God gave His commands to everyone, and there is no one with an excuse to not follow His word.

“Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.”

In Deuteronomy you will find

A call to remember the past (Chapters 1-4)

Breaking down the 10 commandments (Chapters 5-7)

God’s faithfulness amidst Israel’s rebellion in the past (Chapters 8-11)

Israel’s call to live as a holy people (Chapters 12-15)

Instructions for leadership and order in society (Chapters 16-19)

Laws of warfare, murder, and family strife (Chapters 20-22)

Addressing miscellaneous laws (Chapters 23-26)

Blessings and curses in the promised land (Chapters 27-30)

The final chapters of Moses (Chapters 31-34)
