    TODAY'S READING:

    - Deuteronomy 26-29

    WORD OF THE DAY:

    -  Fear

    Harvest Offerings and Tithes: A Grateful Heart

    In today's exploration of Deuteronomy 26-29:1 on the Daily Bible Podcast, we begin with harvest offerings and tithes. As the Israelites anticipate entering the Promised Land, God instructs them to remember their humble beginnings. From the wandering ancestor Jacob, they've evolved into a mighty nation by the power of God's mighty arm. The call is to give the first portion of all they have back to the Lord, maintaining a heart of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's providence. Every third year, a tithe is given to the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows, ensuring all have enough to eat.

    Moses instructed the people on their entry into the Promised Land. They were to erect stones on Mount Ebal, inscribed with the full body of the Lord's instructions, creating a tangible representation of their covenant with God. A future altar of uncut stones would serve as a place for sacrifices. This forward-looking directive emphasizes the importance of remembrance and devotion.

    Upon arrival, a significant ceremony unfolds. Half of the tribes, representing the sons of Leah and Rachel, pronounce blessings on the people, while the other tribes, the sons of the concubines, proclaim curses. This serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of both obedience and rebellion. The curses highlight the importance of moral integrity, illustrating God's desire for His people to stand apart from other nations.

    Stepping back, we recognize that the story of the Israelites is an integral part of God's ultimate rescue plan for all people. From Genesis to Revelation, God intricately weaves a beautiful narrative of salvation. The retelling of the law in Deuteronomy reminds them that God is on their side, desiring their success and prosperity. Even in their stiff-necked tendencies, Moses outlines the consequences of straying from God and the abundant blessings that await those who listen.

    Word of the Day: "Fear" - A Holy Reverence

    The Word of the Day introduces the concept of "fear," not as mere tactics but as a profound reality. The Hebrew word "yirah" denotes a holy reverence, respect, and worship for God, connected to a deep awareness and trembling. True fear is a deeper understanding of God's nature, capabilities, and consequences—both blessings and cursing—that accompany our choices.

    In today's reading, we confront the intense words of God, laying before us the choices of blessing or cursing, life or death. The gravity of these choices is emphasized because it's serious business. God desires a set-apart people devoted to love, justice, and an unwavering commitment to Him. Fear of God isn't just about awe; it's a choice between positive fear – reverencing the glorious name of the Lord – and negative fear – fearing the consequences. Door #1 leads to blessings, abundance, and eternal life. Door #2 opens to painful consequences and spiritual destruction.

    As we reflect on Deuteronomy 26-29:1, let's consider our choices. Each action sends ripples into our lives, and the doors stand open before us. The call is clear. Choose the path of obedience, embrace the fear of God in reverence, and walk into a realm of blessings, abundance, and eternal life.

    Stay tuned for more profound insights, discussions, and revelations on the Daily Bible Podcast blog!

    TODAY'S READING:

    - Deuteronomy 21-25

    WORD OF THE DAY:

    -  Possession

    Today, we delved into the profound wisdom of Deuteronomy 21:10-25, exploring God's laws for His people. In these chapters, Moses reiterates the instructions given to the Israelites, shedding light on the significance of God's divine laws for their journey to the Promised Land.

    Compassion in Unlikely Places

    As we navigated through the verses, our hearts couldn't help but ache for those caught in less-than-ideal circumstances—the captured woman in war, the unloved wife in a polygamous marriage, and the woman left without children. These seemingly harsh laws uncover God's compassionate teaching, guiding humanity to care for those in difficult situations. It's a reminder that compassion must be taught, just as with any life lesson—a truth that resonates even in my household with 10 kids.

    Legacy, Names, and Unforeseen Symbolism

    The poignant law in Deuteronomy 21:22-23 caught our attention, foreseeing the Savior's sacrifice centuries later. Little did Moses and the people know that this law, addressing the swift burial of a criminal hung on a tree, would echo through time, mirroring the crucifixion of Jesus for the sins of the world.

    Laws, Laws, and More Laws

    Moving on, we encountered a plethora of laws spanning Deuteronomy 22-25, addressing various aspects of life—from sexual conduct and property rights to marriage and fair treatment of workers. While the sheer volume may feel overwhelming, the essence lies in the Israelites' understanding that they are God's possession. These laws are a blueprint for a just and prosperous society, ensuring the people's distinctive nature as God's chosen possession.

    Word of the Day: Possession

    Possession: an item of property; something belonging to one. This word encapsulates the heart of these laws. The Israelites were God's possession, so they were to treat their possessions differently. These chapters underscore the importance of justice and fairness, guiding the Israelites towards prosperity and success in the Promised Land.

    A Glimpse into Jesus' Time

    A fascinating revelation from Deuteronomy 23:24-25 mirrors an incident in Jesus' time. The law allowing gleaners to eat from a neighbor's field while traveling (Matt. 12:1) showcases the balance between personal responsibility and landowners' provision—a timeless principle of reciprocity.

    Looking Ahead

    With the Promised Land on the horizon, God desires His people to stand out as His special possession. As we ponder on the laws, we're reminded of 1 Peter 2:9-10: a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's possession. How we treat a special possession reflects our understanding of its worth—a profound analogy for our relationship with God.

    TODAY'S READING:

    - Deuteronomy 16-21

    WORD OF THE DAY:

    -  Model

    Today, our journey through Deuteronomy 16:18-22, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21:1-9 brings us face-to-face with the sage insights of Moses. Aging gracefully, Moses shares God's laws, anticipating the people's future struggles and the potential desire for a king.

    👑 The King's Mandate: A Model for Godliness

    Moses, foreseeing the possibility of a king, instructs a unique directive—write a copy of the law, read it daily, and remain humble. A king in tune with God's decrees would benefit the people, fostering a just and God-centered rule. The law wasn't just about compliance; it was a model for righteous living.

    📜 Laws Revisited: A Reminder of God's Standard

    While many laws are revisited, we see a broader purpose beyond immediate compliance. The Torah becomes a preparatory phase, leading to the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah. Jesus brings a revolutionary shift—from external compliance to internal transformation, emphasizing faith and sacrificial love.

    🔄 Word of the Day: Model

    The word of the day is "Model." The laws given to the Israelites were like a model, a representation of Jesus, who fulfilled every requirement. The law prepared us for understanding God's standard, paving the way for Jesus' fulfillment.

    💡 Modeling Jesus: A Call to Imitate Christ

    As we grow to know Jesus, we are called to imitate Him, becoming models of His ways. Like a system set as an example, we are to imitate Christ and become the hands and feet of Jesus. Our love and actions become a model for a world in need, showcasing God's love.

    🌐 Being the Model: The Hands and Feet of Jesus

    Paul urges us in 1 Corinthians 11:1 to imitate Christ, and at the end of every podcast, we echo the call to become "the hands and feet of Jesus." Why? We are a model for God. People watch us, and through our love, they open their hearts to the good news of Jesus.

    Let's not merely follow laws but embrace the model of Jesus. May our lives reflect the transformative power of faith, love, and imitating Christ.

    TODAY'S READING:

    - Deuteronomy 13-16

    WORD OF THE DAY:

    -  Celebrate

    Unlocking Deuteronomy: A Feast for the Soul 📖🌟

    Greetings, fellow explorers of the Word! Today, our journey takes us through the rich chapters of Deuteronomy 13 to 16:17. As we delve into the profound wisdom of Moses, let's not merely learn the Bible but embrace the essence of God's character, building a relationship with Him. Remember what Jen Wilkin beautifully articulates: "We learn the Bible for the sake of learning the character of God and being in relationship with Him."

    🚨 Warning: False Prophets and Idolatry

    Deuteronomy 13 issues a stern warning against false prophets and idolatry. Even close family members or entire towns should not be spared if they lead people away from God. God commands unwavering action—show no mercy, do not spare, and put them to death. It's a reminder of God's mercy for those who listen and obey.

    🍞 Tithes and Celebrations in God's Presence

    Dietary laws, tithes (1/10), and celebrations take center stage. Bringing the tithe and feasting in God's presence is a captivating concept. Even if living far away, they were to use the money to celebrate with their household. A contingency plan that reflects the joy of God's blessings.

    📜 Forgiveness and Liberation

    Deuteronomy 15 introduces the year of release, emphasizing debt forgiveness and the release of slaves in the seventh year. The Israelites are instructed to set aside the firstborn of their herds and flocks for the Lord, eating them in His presence. It's a powerful symbol of acknowledging God's ownership.

    🎉 Celebrate—More Than a Ritual

    Word of the Day: "Celebrate." Passover, Festival of Unleavened Bread, Festival of the Harvest, and Festival of Shelters were not just rituals but celebrations. Sacrifices foreshadow Christ’s ability to continually cover our sins. Yet, do we miss the celebration? God wants us to rejoice in His blessings.

    💰 Offering as a Celebration

    What if our tithe was a feast in God's presence with our household? Or if our voluntary offerings were celebrated with family, friends, and those in need? Deuteronomy 16 encourages celebration before the Lord. Celebrating the Lord’s goodness is a profound witness of God's blessings, requiring no evangelism class. People witness God's favor and want to know more.

    🌾 Harvest Festivals and Remembrance

    Reflect on the festivals—Passover, Festival of the Harvest, and Festival of Shelters. They were more than events; they were opportunities to remember God's goodness. Today, let's infuse celebration into our giving, creating a witness that speaks louder than words.

    As I reflect on today, my daughter's 14th birthday, the essence of celebration takes on a new focus. May our lives be a continuous celebration of God's goodness, and may the festivals in Deuteronomy inspire us to remember and rejoice.

    Let's make the Bible not just a lesson, but a feast for our souls.

    A Journey through Deuteronomy: Lessons from Moses for Today's Hearts

    Hey, Daily Bible Podcast community! 🌟 Today, we're delving into the specifics of Deuteronomy 10, 11, and 12—moving beyond general commands to uncover God's specific stipulations. Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to be part of this ancient crowd, trying to hear Moses with no sound system in the back? 🤔 Let's explore!

    Moses and the Art of Storytelling 📖

    Moses continues the narrative of the last 40 years, reminiscent of family tales. Like sharing memories with in-laws, Moses focuses on the big picture, not exact details. It's a summary, not a perfectly detailed account. Moses places the tablets in the Ark, emphasizing the grand tale over the fine details.

    Requirements for a Blessed Life 🌈

    Deuteronomy 10:12 echoes the core requirements: fear God, live to please Him, love and serve Him with all your heart and soul. Moses repeats these concepts—fear, live, love, obey, cling, and tell your children. These aren't just words; they're a blueprint for a blessed life.

    The Land of Abundance: A Promise and a Condition 🌾

    Moses paints a picture of the wonderful land awaiting the Israelites, contingent on one thing—obedience. God promises abundance, feasting in His presence. In Chapter 12, Moses urges them to erase foreign gods from the land. It's a land of rejoicing, but obedience is the key.

    Conditions and Consequences ⚖️

    Conditions arise—be careful not to turn away from God. If they do, consequences follow: God's anger, drought, and failure in the land. Commit to God's Word for a flourishing life. Moses emphasizes the choice—obey and thrive or turn away and face repercussions.

    The Sanctity of Blood 🍷

    Deuteronomy emphasizes not consuming blood; it's the lifeblood. As we partake in the Lord's Supper, symbolizing Christ's blood, we're reminded of the newness of life in Him.

    Word of the Day: Cling 🤗

    Today's word, "Cling," is a powerful verb. Moses urges the Israelites to cling to God actively. It's about trusting His promises, seeking His favor, and living for His approval. Clinging isn't passive—it's a vibrant, intentional choice.

    A Challenge for Today 💪

    Moses, knowing his days are short, wants the point to stick—fear, live, love, obey, and cling. Today, let's be active in our faith. Write down one way to actively cling to God: "I will share one good thing God's done for me today."

    Final Thoughts 🌟

    Moses' timeless words echo through the ages. Actively cling to God, and don't merely listen—do what the Word says. In our journey through Deuteronomy, let's embrace these active verbs and build a life that reflects God's goodness.

    Stay tuned for our next episode, and may your day be filled with active clinging to the goodness of our Lord.

    TODAY'S READING:

    - Deuteronomy 6-9

    WORD OF THE DAY:

    -  Wholeheartedly

    Today, our exploration takes us into the heart of Deuteronomy, delving into chapters 6 through 9. Imagine yourself sitting on the brink of the Jordan River, about to cross into the Promised Land. Moses, the revered leader, addresses you and your fellow travelers, sharing the history of the last 40 years and emphasizing the commands God has for His people. These commands, echoing the call to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and strength, are to be obeyed, shaping a life dedicated to God.

    Listen, O Israel!

    Moses passionately declares, urging the people to acknowledge the Lord as their God, the only one. The recurring theme? Love God with everything, committing wholeheartedly to His commands. Why? As the Israelites approach the promised land, Moses wants them to remember their journey and not forget how God rescued them. The Lord is among them, guiding their steps, ensuring they conquer the land step by step.

    Every Word from the Mouth of God

    Moses recalls the times of testing and humbling, echoing Jesus' words in the New Testament. "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." But what does this mean? It's an invitation to ponder the significance of God's words—His law. Obeying the law meant choosing life, a concept later reinforced by Jesus during his 40-day fast in the wilderness.

    Wholeheartedly Devoted

    Amidst the repetition of laws, Deuteronomy unveils a beautiful truth. For 40 years, God's people wandered miraculously, their clothes and feet untouched. Now, as they approach a land flowing with abundance, Moses emphasizes the importance of wholehearted devotion. Our Word of the Day, "wholeheartedly," signifies complete and sincere dedication.

    The Legacy of Elisabeth Elliot

    Reflecting on wholehearted devotion, we draw inspiration from the life of Elisabeth Elliot. Despite tragedy and loss, Elisabeth chose to remain in Ecuador, continuing her mission work among the Auka Indians. Her story exemplifies unwavering commitment to God's call, even in the face of great personal cost.

    Teaching Future Generations

    As Moses implores the Israelites to obey, praise, and remember, we too must teach our children. Elisabeth Elliot's example reminds us that a life of wholehearted devotion comes with challenges, but the rewards are worth the cost. We must trust God for everything, just as our elderly loved ones, like my 94-year-old grandmother, trust us for care.

    Final Thoughts

    In a world full of distractions, maintaining wholehearted devotion requires looking back on God's faithfulness, trusting Him for everything, and teaching future generations. Our journey through Deuteronomy invites us to fight the good fight for true faith, holding tightly to the eternal life God has called us to. Let us remain dedicated, for, at the right time, Christ will be revealed, the King of all kings and Lord of all lords.

    Join us in the upcoming podcast episode as we explore more profound insights from the book of Deuteronomy. Until then, may your hearts be filled with wholehearted devotion to our Lord.

Must listen Bible podcast ,

The BEST Bible reading podcast

I absolutely LOVE this podcast. It helps me to stay on track with the daily readings, and most importantly helps me understand the meaning of each passage. This is my first time reading the Bible front to back, and I don’t know what I’d do without Tricia and Michelle. They are such great speakers and really know what their talking about. They break topics down in a way that makes sense in our world today in 2024, and gives each passage a deeper meaning, even in the passages that are tough to read (Leviticus lol). It gives me a way to apply these principles in my life today. I listen to this podcast every day, and share with my friends when I can. Love you guys!!

Favorite way to start my mornings

I have been listening to this podcast as I read thur the Bible chronologically this year. I look forward each night to waking up drinking my coffee, doing my Bible reading and then tuning into this podcast. I LOVE the word of the day. The word of the day helps me have something to stand out in the reading and remember what I’ve read. I can’t think of a better way to start my day. I love Michelle and Tricia and am so thankful my friend told me about them and how to follow along with them. It makes reading thur the Bible so fun. I love having that community to help point out things I may not have grasp in the reading. If you have looked for a podcast to supplement your reading thur the Bible this is the one 😊

Great podcast with minor adjustments needed

This podcast is such a great companion to the one year chronological Bible reading plan. I enjoy reading the day’s selection on my own, and then listening to Tricia and Michelle’s thoughts and interpretation. Their insights are great in facilitating deeper understanding. The only adjustment that needs to desperately be made is for them to silence their notifications (for text messages or otherwise) while they are recording. This continues to be an issue and is very disruptive. This is an easy fix, and I hope it’s addressed soon. Otherwise, I can’t recommend this podcast enough!
