Scripture Union Daily Guide 13 October 2026 Outline

Notice the purpose of levirate marriage in Israel (Deuteronomy 25:5-6)? The only way a person was recognized in Israel was through his lineage (Deuteronomy 25:6-7). Remember that everything that happened in the Old Testament was a shadow and a preparatory ground for the reality manifested in the New Testament (Colossians 2:17). Observe the shameful treatment to be meted out to the man who refuses to carry out his responsibility to his late brother (Deuteronomy 25:7-10; Genesis 38:9-10). What do you think of the punishment prescribed in Deuteronomy 25:11-12? Disobedience to the Word of God attracts punishment both on this earth and in eternity.

One other rare virtue today is honesty. Honesty is the quality of being truthful and sincere that involves telling the truth, even when it is difficult or inconvenient. God hates tampering with measuring cups, scales, weights or any measuring instrument to give false readings (Deuteronomy 25:13-16). This means that the quality and quantity of the product or service we provide to our customers should not only be consistent, but it must also meet the promises made.

It is also exciting to note that honesty has a God-given promise of long life (Deuteronomy 25:15), and all who are dishonest are an abomination to the Lord God (Deuteronomy 25:16). Of course, honesty extends beyond the tools that we use to serve others, it includes all statements, written or verbal, that we make to other people.
