Daily Bible Reading, July 2022: God’s Renewing Word of FaithMuestra

July 3

Introduction

Moses’ song is presented in the form of a lawsuit. Earth and sky are summoned as witnesses (32:1). God charges Israel with being unfaithful to their agreement (32:5, 6). Despite God’s past blessings (32:7-14), Israel rebelled (32:15-18), and God was forced to punish them (32:19-27).

Scripture Reading

Deuteronomy 31:30—32:27

Today’s Key Verse: Deuteronomy 32:4b

[Moses said:] “Your God is faithful and true; he does what is right and fair.”

Reflect

In 32:7, Moses tells the people to “think of the past.” What does he proceed to tell them? How did God provide for the people? How did the people rebel? What punishments are described? In what ways does your community of faith reflect on the past?

Pray

Lord God, you are faithful and true; teach me to do what is right and fair. You are my Creator; I will praise your holy name and tell of your greatness and serve you always. Amen.
