Scripture Union Daily Guide 8th March 2021 Devotional – A Covenant With God

You are reading Scripture Union Daily Guide Devotional for Today Monday 8th March 2021. May you be blessed as you read on.

TOPIC: A COVENANT WITH GOD

OPENING PRAYER: May my heart, O Lord, be receptive to your word as I meditate on it.

SCRIPTURE: Deuteronomy 29:1-15

Question(s) for Reflection:
• What does the passage teach about God the Father, God the Son or God the Holy Spirit?
• What is God revealing to me in this passage?

OUTLINE: SCRIPTURE UNION DAILY GUIDE 8TH MARCH 2021 DEVOTIONAL

God made a covenant 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 in order to receive his physical and spiritual blessings. In today’s passage, Moses renews this covenant (v.1). God had kept his part as he always would by the way he led and provided for them (vs.2-8). Note the reason for his faithfulness (v.6).

However, the Israelites were already neglecting their part (see Deut. 1:26-2:15). Moses reminds them of God’s past goodness to assure them that God is able and faithful. Always remember God’s past goodness when in doubt or fear. Note the condition for their prosperity (v.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 (vs.10-11). Note the value of this covenant in v.12 and its purpose in v.13. Notice also that they were representing future generations too (vs.14-15). What we do today will affect future generations!

Practice/Word Application:
• So: What foundation are you laying for future generations?

• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?

Closing Prayer:
• Lord, teach me to always remember your past faithfulness and trust in you.
• Ask God to help you know His will, walk in it and be an example to believers and unbelievers

Offer a prayer of faith in line with Numbers 6:24-26 –
24. The LORD bless you, and keep you;
25. The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;
26. The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.’

Bible Reading: Job 5-7; 1 Cor. 3
