Daily Bible Reading – August 2021: God’s Word of PromiseMuestra

August 16

Introduction

Moses is instructed to write God’s laws on stones. The laws unite the people as a community and as people who belong to God.  The chapter concludes with a listing of the curses the people will experience if they disobey God’s laws.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Deuteronomy 27:1-26

Today’s Key Verse: Deuteronomy 27:9b, 10

[Moses said:] “Today you have become the people of the LORD your God; so obey him and keep all his laws that I am giving you today.”

Reflect

What is Moses instructed to do? What is to be the purpose of the stones?  What sacred objects are used in connection with worship in your community of faith? As a means of demonstrating an oath to their commitment to obeying God’s laws, the people, now a community of God’s people, respond “Amen” after each curse is heard. How does your community of faith demonstrate its commitment to God?

Pray

Lord God, thank you for calling me to be part of a people who belong to you. You are my God, and I worship you alone. Teach me true obedience to your laws. Amen! Amen!

Prayer Concern

New communities of faith being developed
