Do you give rules to your kids just for the fun of it?  Or do you have a reason for your rules?  Most often the rules are there to set our children up for success and to live a better life.  

How much more than does it make sense for God to give His children rules?

In this episode Veronica and Erika discuss kosher food and the purposes for it, the purposes of tithes, who get their debts canceled, and slavery (aka indentured servants).

Would you think God's laws and instructions bring about rejoicing?  Why would God's laws and instructions bring about rejoicing?  

On the podcast, Veronica begins discussing the section of Deuteronomy that lays out laws.  Worshiping God should not look like worship of false gods so God lays out how to worship Him.  

These laws are meant to bless Israel and the people who come in contact with her. We discuss sacrificing, tithing, and slavery in this podcast.

In this chapter Moses calls the people to obey and explains what they will receive (hint rain is vital in the blessing).  He reminds the people that if they lived in Egypt, they wouldn't need God like they will in the land of promise.  

Veronica and Erika explain the importance of rain and how flesh out why it's called the land of milk and honey.

Moses continues his look back.  Veronica explains how covenants and stone tablets were typical of Ancient Near Eastern customs. 

Then Moses turns the conversation to Israel's call to fearing God, walking in obedience, serving Him with heart and soul and observing His commands.

Moses continues his look back as he explains to Israel what God promises if she is willing to obey.   The lessons in Deuteronomy are based on remembrance.  Moses is calling the people to remember God's faithfulness, their struggles, God's blessings and their calling.

Moses is still looking back as he retells Israel their story.  But as he looks back, he's also looking forward to what God promises to do when the people are obedient.  

These stories and commands have lessons for us and about God that we can learn from today.

This is such a great chapter.  I wish we had time to go through each verse one at a time.  Instead, we hit the highlights and show how incredible God is and His heart for His people.  

We show how God's covenants and laws are a blessing for the people to set them apart from the nations so they can be a light to the world.

Moses is reviewing the highlights for the people and setting them up for victory as they head into the land.  These verses pull stories from Genesis and Numbers and expect the audience to know the backstory.
