Scripture Union Daily Guide 18th August 2026 Outline
Observe how Moses appeals to the Israelites to obey God as a matter of life and death (Deuteronomy 4:1), especially as they are about to enter Canaan. God’s laws, rules and commandments are not a constraint that the people must bear, but a unique privilege granted by God to the people He has chosen. This call for obedience and to walk according to His laws also applies to us today. It is essential for our blessing and happiness.
Why does Moses remind them of their past sins and rebellions against God as well as the consequences of their evil deeds (Deuteronomy 4:3-4)? He warns those who were faithful to continue to stand firm in their faithfulness. What is one direct result of Israel’s obedience to God on other nations (Deuteronomy 4:6, cf. Matthew 5:14)?
Moses repeats his warning to Israel about what they saw and lived through in the wilderness. One way to do so is to teach them to their children and grandchildren so that they in turn will learn to daily fear and obey God. We are all called to pass down our experiences of God’s faithfulness to our children and to future generations and warn them to obey Him.
What next:
God calls us to transmit His word to our children and to generations to come. How faithfully are you carrying out this charge?
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Isaiah 53:5:
Closing Prayer
Dear Lord, work in me both to will and to do according to your word and pleasure.
