Today's Reading - March 26, 2010

Deuteronomy 5:1-6:25
Luke 7:11-35
Psalm 68:19-35
Proverbs 11:29-31


Question of the day: Why does Moses say, "The Lord did not make this covenant with our ancestors, but with all of us who are alive today that the Lord had made a covenant with the Israelites." Hadn't all the Israelites who came out of Egypt died in the Wilderness?

The Israelites that had to die before God's people could enter the promised land were those who were men of fighting age. Many of the people still alive at the time of Moses' speech would have been wives of the soldiers, or were children at the time.
