Read: Deuteronomy 16:1-17:20; Luke 9:7-27; Psalm 72:1-20; Proverbs 12:8-9
The people were to celebrate Passover in the month of Abib. Abib was the 7th month on the civil calendar but the first on the religious calendar. Remember in Exodus 12:2 God gave them a new first month and this was it. Fifty days after Passover, the people were to celebrate the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost. Passover and Pentecost happened in the spring during the wheat harvest. This was to represent the revival of souls into the kingdom. In the fall, they harvested the grapes and the olives. This also represents a harvest into the kingdom. During this harvest they were to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. Three times a year, the men were to come to Jerusalem to present their offerings and celebrate before the Lord: Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, and Tabernacles.
Judges and leaders were to rule over the towns to make sure the people obeyed God’s laws and treated each other fairly. If they decided to set a king over themselves then the king must be a fellow Israelite. He must not accumulate a lot of horses from Egypt, or take many wives, or accumulate large amount of silver and gold. He was to write all the laws down by hand and keep it and read it over and over so that he would learn to fear God and obey him. If he did all these things he would reign a long time over Israel.
In Luke, Herod heard about all the things Jesus was doing and wondered if John the Baptist hadn’t risen from the dead. He tried to see Jesus.
Meanwhile, the disciples had come back from going out and ministering and seeing miracles happen at their own hand. Jesus took them to Bethsaida to rest but the crowd found out and met them there. Jesus was moved to see them and taught the people about the kingdom of God. He spoke all day and when the disciples counseled Jesus to send them home so they could eat, Jesus told them to feed them. This was not what the disciples expected to hear. They only had five loaves of bread and two fish but there were five thousand people to feed.
We all know the story. Jesus fed them and there were 12 baskets of food left over. Twelve stands for government - God’s government. The lessons was: in God’s government there is always more than enough.
After the day was over, Jesus asked his disciples who others thought he was, then he asked them who they thought he was. Peter said, “You are the Christ the Son of God.” Then Jesus told them what was about to happen. He would be turned over to the leaders of the religious order, be killed and then raise to life on the third day. He told them that denying yourself was the way to God’s kingdom.
As you read Psalm 72, I challenge you to put our president’s name in place of the king. Through God, we pray that he does all this for God’s people.
Lord, may we study to know Your promises and your laws that we follow you in wisdom and passion.

Thurs.’s Devo - God’s Government
Read: Deuteronomy 13:1-15:23; Luke 8:40-9:6; Psalm 71:1-24: Proverb 12:5-7
God warned his children of false prophets who performed miracles. They were a test to see if the people loved the Lord with all their hearts. If anyone, even someone one in their own house tried to persuade them to worship other gods, they were to report them and have them stoned. They, themselves were to throw the first stone.
What do both of these things mean to us now? There are many people in the world with the ability to do miracles who don’t claim Jesus. We can’t use their miracles as signs that they are true. We have to look at the source. If the source is wrong and doesn’t come through Jesus, then we are to speak out against it. Stoning has to do with throwing words at a target. If someone who is close to us is being deceived it is up to us to go to them and teach them the truth. What they do to that truth is up to them. Hopefully the stone or Word we give them will kill their false thoughts.
They were not to cut themselves or shave the front of their heads for the dead. It was a common practice of idolaters, in their worship and at funerals, to make incisions on their faces and other parts of their bodies with their finger nails or sharp instruments. (We see that in 1 Kings 18:28 with the worshippers of Baal.) They also made a large bare space between their eyebrows (Jeremiah 16:6). These degrading practices of hopeless sorrow were not to be practiced by God’s people. We are not to be those who mourn without hope. We know that we will one day see our loved one and that they are in a much better place.
In the things God told them not to eat, there were sanitary, dietary, and spiritual reasons.
God took careful attention to the Levite and the poor. Neither were to be neglected, but those that had were to give to those who had need. Servants and slaves were to be released during the year of jubilee. If they chose to stay the master would take an awl and pierce the servants ear into the door and he would be his for life. This is a picture of the cross. The door is Jesus, and this man is being pierced to Jesus making him a part of the family.
In Luke, we have a 12 year old who is dying and a woman who has been bleeding for 12 years. Twelve stands for government and these two women stand for the picture of the spiritual condition of Israel. They were bleeding and dying with no hope. The young girl died and Jesus resurrected her just as the old government had to die and be resurrected in the power of God. Jesus healed both of them showing that salvation had come to their nation to heal and restore. Jesus then called the 12 together and gave them authority to drive out all demons and cure diseases and sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. This was the picture of the government Jesus was bringing.
Lord, increase our discernment of right and wrong and increase our compassion for the poor and the ministers of God. Lord, bring in your government of the kingdom.

Wed.’s Devo - Remember God’s Promises
Read: Deuteronomy 11:1-12:32; Luke 8:22-39; Psalm 70:1-5; Proverbs 12:4
Moses was still talking to the people and he is calling them to remember all the signs and wonders God did and they saw with their own eyes even though they were children. They were to teach these things to their children who wouldn’t have witnessed them.
The land God had for them would not be like Egypt where they had to carry water to their crops from the Nile. This land would be watered from heaven and the land would grow produce year round. This was a land that God cares for continually from the beginning of the year to its end.
God warned them of following the gods of the land. If they did, he would shut the heavens and not let it rain. Rain is a symbol of God’s favor and blessing. They were to bind the word of God around their hearts, their hands and their foreheads. The Pharisees would take this literal and make phylacteries that they strategically bound around their arm and head… but most of them forgot about their heart. God was really saying that their hearts, deeds and mind (body, soul and spirit) were to be totally given to Him and following his Word. They were also to write the words of God on their doorposts of their house and on their gates. They do these with these little boxes that have scripture in them called mezuzah’s. Doors and gates represent openings into our lives. Everything that enters into our lives needs to be filtered through the Word of God.
God set before them the curse and the blessing. The curse was read from Mt. Ebal which means “bald” and the blessings were read from Mt. Gerizim which means “rocky”. Rocks stand for promises.
In Genesis, Adam was told to eat leafy green plants. After the flood, Noah was told he could add to his diet clean meat. Now, God is telling them they can eat any meat, clean or unclean as long as they drained the blood from it. Man was maturing in his walk on the earth. Crossing over the Jordan was to cross into the spirit where God had “meat” which they would need for spiritual warfare against the giants in the land.
Jesus told his disciples across the lake to the place where they would fight the demons in a man. The demons stirred up the lake to keep them from arriving. Jesus calmed the storm and called the demons out of the man. This man’s demons were the principalities over that whole region. The man was so changed that it scared the people and they told Jesus to leave. The man wanted to go with Jesus but Jesus sent him back to the town to tell the people all about what had happened to him.
Lord, help us to remember the things you have done for us and stand upon the promises and not the curses. May we eat your Word and bear its fruit.

Tues.’s Devo - Taking the Land and Growing the Seed
Read: Deuteronomy 9:1-10:22; Luke 8:4-21; Psalm 69:19-36; Proverbs 12:2-3
God told the children of Israel about the nations they would meet when they crossed the Jordan. These nations would be stronger than them with walls up to heaven. God promised to go before them as a consuming fire. He made sure they knew that it wasn’t because of their righteousness or integrity that He was doing this but it was because of the wickedness of the nations they were dispossessing. God reminded them that from day one they had been rebellious and angered him: at Sinai, Taberah, Massah, Kibroth Hattaavah, and Kadesh Barnea. Many times it was Moses that interceded for the people and kept the Lord from destroying them completely. Moses laid before them their whole history which was full of rebellion and the long-suffering of the Lord. Moses told them how God chose them out of all the people of the earth to set his affection on and now it was time to possess the land he had given them in spite of themselves.
His last instructions were to fear God, walk in his ways, love him and serve him with all their heart and soul and to observe the Lord’s laws. To do this they needed to circumcise their hearts and stop being stiff-necked.
In Luke, Jesus told the parable of all parables about the seed and the sower. The seed was the Word of God and the soil was the heart of man. The condition of the heart controlled the harvest of the seed. Those with humble hearts would receive the secrets of the kingdom of God. Jesus told them to consider carefully how they listened. All of this constituted how much revelation God gives and how much of it we will be able to understand. Not only do we need to understand the Word, but we have to live it.
Lord, help us to be rooted in your Word. Help us to have humble hearts to receive your revelation and truth.

Mon.’s Devo - True Blessings
Read: Deuteronomy 7:1-8:20; Luke 7:36-8:3; Psalm 69:1-18; Proverbs 12:1
God is always looking ahead to the future. He knew there would come a time that they drove out their enemies out of the land. He wanted them to stay clean and free so he gave them these instructions. First, they must destroy their enemies totally. They were not to make any treaty with them or show them any mercy. They were not to intermarry with them or give their daughter to their sons or take they daughters for their sons or else they would turn them to worship other gods and the Lord’s anger would burn against them. They were to break down their altars and smash their sacred stones, cut down and burn their idols in the fire.
This shows us how God feels about sin. Our enemies are not so obvious. They are not clothed in armor or visible. They are the attitudes of our heart, the fears in our head, the habits we have identified as “that’s just how I am”. That is a wrong concept - not Biblical. We can have the mind of Christ which is not afraid, envious, ashamed, judgmental, hateful, unkind, selfish or haughty. We can…if we choose to.
God gave them the blessings of paying attention to God’s laws and loving Him with all their hearts. The blessings are amazing: God’s love, fruitfulness, prosperity and divine health. The land God was giving them was good: plenty of water, wheat, barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where there was no lack. In God, there is no lack!
In Luke, we see Jesus eating at the home of a rich Pharisee named Simon. While he was there, a woman with a bad reputation came and anointed Jesus feet with myrrh. Simon judged Jesus in his heart thinking that if he was a prophet he should know that she was a sinner. Jesus, who knew all hearts rebuked him for thinking that way and tried to show him a better way to think. This woman had many sins to be forgiven which made her love Jesus all the more. Simon, who thought he had no sins was not able to love.
I don’t want you to miss the few verses in chapter 8 that tell us the three women who supported Jesus ministry with their money. One was Mary Magdalene who had been possessed with 7 devils; one was the wife of Herod’s manager, and one was
a lady named Susanna. These are the only people mentioned who supported Jesus’ ministry with monetary means.
Lord, help us to live in your blessings and understand that the greatest blessing cannot be measured in monetary means.

Sun.’s Devo - Don’t Forget
Read: Duet. 5:1-6:25; Luke 7:11-35; Psalms 68:19-35; Proverbs 11:29-31
Moses read again to the people the ten commandments and told them how they came about. None of these people except Joshua and Caleb and Moses were there in person when God gave the law on Mt. Sinai. They were to teach them to their children so that everything would go well with them when they came into the land. He exhorted them to love God with all their heart, soul and strength. They were to talk about the Lord’s laws when they sat at home, when they walked along the road and when they lay down and rose up. That means…all day. They were to write them on the doorframes of their houses and on their gates.
When they settled in the land and became prosperous they were not to forget the Lord and his laws or God would burn with jealousy and punish them.
In Luke, Jesus met a funeral party leaving the city for the grave. The boy who died was a widow’s only son and Jesus had compassion on her. He brought the man back to life and gave him back to his mother. This got the attention of many and some of these were John the Baptists disciples. John sent them to Jesus to ask if he was the Messiah when John had already proclaimed him to be. Jesus discerned John’s real question and answered it. John’s read question was, “why have you not set me free from my prison?” since that was one of the things the Messiah was prophesied to do. Jesus instead told his disciples to notice the things he was doing and the prophecies he was fulfilling and not to be offended if he didn’t do what he wanted him to do. This is such a good word to me. I find myself upset with God because he doesn’t fulfill a certain promise in his Word when he has fulfilled so many others. I need to be thankful for what he has done and leave the rest to him.
Jesus then addressed the crowd about John. He asked them why they went all the way out in the wilderness to see John. The people that had repented under John’s ministry would be able to accept Jesus’, but the Pharisees who weren’t baptized under John and didn’t accept John, would not be able to accept Jesus. Only the children of God can have Godly wisdom.
Lord,
Lord, I repent of grumbling and complaining about your timing and the way you are moving in my life. I am grateful for all the wonderful ways you have provided and kept us in You. Help me to see your wisdom. Help us to remember all the things you have done for us.

Sat.’s Devo - Good Fruit
Read: Dueteronomy 4:1-49; Luke 6:39-7:10; Psalm 68:1-18; Proverbs 11:28
Mose gives his last speech to the children of Israel. God told the people not to add to his commandments or subtract from them. By the time Jesus came to earth, they had added so much of their own laws to God’s law that God’s laws were no longer important. Their own laws called the Talmud had taken priority over the Mosaic law. He also exhorts the people to follow the laws God because they will show them wisdom and understanding. He reminds them that no other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way God was to them. He hears every prayer they pray. Moses told them it was their job to teach what they had seen and learned about God to their children so that they would walk with Him.
He told them that if they ever strayed from Him all they had to do was turn and seek him again and he would be found of them. He also told them that they were to drive out a people that are much stronger than them. They would do that with God’s help and then they would receive their inheritance. Many of us are up against enemies that are much stronger than us. Our nation is fighting enemies that are much stronger than us, but they are not too strong for the Lord. That is why we pray and believe and put our trust in God. Nothing is impossible to Him.
Two of the enemies that the children of Israel faced were Sihon king of the Amorites and Og, King of Bashan. Those kings represented destructive words and shame. They defeated them both. They are still enemies we must defeat on a daily basis.
Jesus taught that if we allow Him to train us in his Word we will be like Him. When we build our lives upon Jesus, the storms of life and the trials will not blow us away but we will stand strong.
Jesus taught about how a good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart. This will be evident by his conversation. Next, he healed a centurion’s servant whom the centurion highly valued. This centurion was an example of a good tree that bore good fruit. He humbled himself before Jesus and realized Jesus’ authority with God. He got his request.
Lord, help us to not fall to the enemies of destructive words and shame. May our hearts be fertile ground that bears good fruit.
