Today, I am reading and commenting on  Deuteronomy 32-34.

I recently learned a Bible study method which is good for those who are new to reading the Bible, and can be useful to those who have long studied it.  The method consists on asking three questions when looking at a passage: What does this passage tell us about the nature of God?  What does this passage tell us about the nature of mankind? And, how can we apply this passage to our lives today?  I have not used this method for writing my blog up until now, but today it felt like the right approach.

So, what does this passage tell us about God?  God is upright, faithful, and just.  He brings blessings upon those whom He has chosen, but vengeance on those who oppose Him.  He disciplines those He loves and forgives them when they turn back to Him after sinning against Him.  And what does it tell us about mankind?  We forget God when life is good and turn against Him.  We turn to other things in place of God, things which only have power which we give them.  So, how do we apply this to our lives?  Let us recognize our temptation to believe that we do not need God and turn to Him, both when times are good and when they are bad.  Recognize that God cares for us, and will discipline us when we do wrong.  He will strive to teach is to do what is right, His will.  Let us praise Him and recognize that there is no God, but He.

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