God is called on when we are at our worst. We ask for forgiveness and restoration.

We are called to worship God all the time because he is always worthy of our all the time praise.

Paul shows how Adam and Jesus are similar but polar opposites. One brought sin into the world the other redeemed the world from sin. One brought destruction and division, the other brought restoration and reunification.

God is our Rock therefore we can be still.

God creates a succession plan for when Moses dies. Here we see that God prepares Joshua for this very task. We won't be reading the final 3 chapters of Deuteronomy but in them you'll see blessings Moses speaks over the tribes and then his final blessing and death. All in all God is in charge and leads his people forward.

Moses shares that when we follow God, when we turn from our ways and follow God's commands, we'll find a new way of understanding life and experience the promises of God in a tangible way.

Moses reminds the people of God's faithfulness and points them to a future promise.

Every action has a consequence, whether good or bad.

Paul reminds us in this chapter that we should be able to find joy even in the midst of our sufferings because we know that God is still in control even when life seems out of control.

When we give God our first and our best, we can trust him with our rest.
