Deuteronomy 29:19-21

We live in a culture that emphasizes marriage, often at the expense of singleness. In the Kenyan context, nearly every single person is confronted with the question, "hujapata mtu bado?" (You've not found anyone yet?) For generations, the predominant message has been that marriage and bearing children constitute the complete and happy life. While marriage is highly esteemed throughout Scripture, and it does bring joy & fulfillment, the Bible also affirms the call to singleness. This devotional is a call for single people to display the Christ-exalting truths that shine more clearly through singleness than through marriage.

Making good decisions is paramount in managing what the Lord has placed in our hands. He is expecting a return on His investments in our salvation and restoration. It is not advisable to present ourselves empty-handed on “that day” when we will be accountable to Him. The Yellow Balloons team gives us a new perspective on one final key to the puzzle of choosing well. What will it be?

In Deuteronomy 29-32, Moses revisited the covenant with the Israelites at Moab, just before they enter the Promised Land. In these three chapters, he addressed the subtle danger of spiritual drift, urging God's people to identify "hidden roots" of pride and modern idolatry that often flourish during seasons of prosperity. Through the lens of Moses' final song and the transition of leadership to Joshua, this devotion highlights a sovereign God who is both "Great and Good"—one who remains a constant anchor through life's transitions and is uniquely moved by our deepest weaknesses.
