Daily Bible Reading – February 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of LoveBài mẫu

February 3 Introduction In today’s reading, Moses tells the people that the LORD wants them to obey the laws in the land they are about to occupy so that they may become a strong nation. Moses also warns them of the consequences of disobedience. Today’s reading includes the great commandment (see verse 5) that is later underscored by Jesus (see Matthew 22:37). Jewish tradition calls verses 4 and 5 the “Shema,” because the first Hebrew word of this passage is “shema” which means “listen” or “hear.” The Good News Translation renders this word as “remember this!” Today’s Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 [Moses said:] “Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” Today’s Reading Deuteronomy 6:1-25 Reflect What does Moses tell the people to do? What are the people promised if they obey God? What warnings are they given if they are disobedient? Why are they told to teach the laws to their children and to write and discuss them over and over again? How might this kind of discipline impact their understanding and practice of the law? How might this discipline be helpful in your daily life? Pray Lord God, help me to remember your laws and keep them foremost in my mind. I love you with all my heart, soul, and strength. Amen.
