Scripture Union Daily Guide 20 October 2026 Outline

In the covenant God made with Israel at Mount Horeb, He promised to bless and make them into a nation through whom all the world would be blessed. The Israelites promised to love and obey God to receive His physical and spiritual blessings. Moses here renews this covenant (Deuteronomy 29:1). God had kept His part as He always would by the way He led and provided for them (Deuteronomy 29:2-8).

Note the reason for His faithfulness (Deuteronomy 29:6). However, the Israelites were already neglecting their part (see Deuteronomy 1:26-46; Deuteronomy 2:1-15). Moses reminds them of God’s past goodness to assure them that He is able and faithful. Always remember God’s past goodness when in doubt or fear.

Note the condition for their prosperity (Deuteronomy 29:9). They, as it were, held the key to their own happiness. Our key to prosperity is Matthew 6:33. Lasting success is a blessing from God. Nobody sent a representative; all, including the children, were there in person (Deuteronomy 29:10-11). Note the value of this covenant in Deuteronomy 29:12 and its purpose in Deuteronomy 29:13. Notice also that they were representing future generations too (Deuteronomy 29:14-15). What we do today will affect future generations!

And So:
What foundation are you laying for future generations?
