TODAY’S BIBLE READING CHALLENGE:
Deuteronomy 28:1-68
Luke 11:14-36
Psalm 77:1-20
Proverbs 12:18
Deuteronomy 28:15 — If the incentives from verses 1-14 aren’t enough to motivate you, then pay attention!
Deuteronomy 28:36 — Fulfilled in Daniel 5:4.
Deuteronomy 28:52 — Fulfilled in Jeremiah 39:8.
Deuteronomy 28:53-55 — Prophesied in Jeremiah 19:9; Lamentations 2:20, 4:10; Ezekiel 5:10; and fulfilled in 2 Kings 6:28-29.
This is a poignant chapter for the King to copy when he makes his copy of the Law (Deuteronomy 17:18). No wonder Josiah tore his robes and recognized the anger of the Lord (2 Kings 22:11-13). No wonder the people wept in Nehemiah 8:9 when they read it!
Luke 11:31 — The Queen of Sheba traveled 1,400 miles to see Solomon, yet the people were there with Jesus and did not believe.
Luke 11:32 — Jonah was a pretty poor excuse for a prophet, yet it didn’t take great preaching to get Ninevah to repent.
Psalm 77:10-11 — We see more synonymous parallelism. Oftentimes, the key thought is in the center of the psalm. In these verses we see “remember” three times.
Proverbs 12:18 — This is the 5th of 19 times the tongue is mentioned in Proverbs.
