The Law of God for Daily Meditation
Morning Meditation:
Deuteronomy 6:20-25
20 “When your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which the LORD our God has commanded you?’ 21 then you shall say to your son: ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; 22 and the LORD showed signs and wonders before our eyes, great and severe, against Egypt, Pharaoh, and all his household. 23 Then He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in, to give us the land of which He swore to our fathers. 24 And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day. 25 Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us.’”
Today, what opportunities will I have to share a word about the Lord’s redeeming work in my life? How can I prepare for that right now? Is “the LORD” on my lips as much as is suggested in this passage? How can I improve my conversation about the Lord and His many blessings?
Evening Meditation:
Deuteronomy 31:9-13
9 So Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 And Moses commanded them, saying: “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of release, at the Feast of Tabernacles, 11 when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12 Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully observe all the words of this law, 13 and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess.”
Did I share anything about God’s love and His Law today? Did I miss any opportunities? Should I be reading from God’s Word in my own family or household? Would it help each of these situations if I set an “appointed time” for sharing the Law and Word of the Lord? Moses has delivered the Law to me: What am I supposed to do with it?
