Today, I am reading and commenting on  Deuteronomy 11-13.

Today’s passage reminds us that those who are children have not seen the wonders which we have seen God perform.  But not just those who are children, many of those younger than ourselves may not have seen wonders which we have seen God perform.  We need to teach those too young to have seen what God has done in the past.  When we listen to them we need to keep in mind what examples of God’s power they have seen, and what examples of it happened before their time.  The passage goes on to remind us that if we faithfully obey God, He will provide for us.  Our memories of how we have seen God work in the past will help us have faith that He will act in the future.  More than that, when we read this passage we need to consider whether we are in the place of the children who did not see God’s wondrous power.  If that is the case, then we need to keep in mind the stories which the generations which went before us shared with us.  Let us study the ways in which God has acted in the past so as to remain faithful, trusting that He will act similarly in the future.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
