Deuteronomy 30:1-10,15-20

Why is God willing to accept His people back after they stray and turn against Him?

How can His people live by that same Spirit and willingness?

What causes people to turn their backs on life and blessing?

What causes God to rejoice over His people?

“The LORD thy God hath driven thee” (1) — Is the alternative to follow?

“Obey his voice according to all” (2) — Am I satisfied with my current level of obedience?

“Therefore choose life” (19) — In what kind of circumstances might I have this option this coming week?

The Scriptures say in Deuteronomy 30:9 -- The LORD will again rejoice over thee for good
from Deuteronomy 30:9

Reading:
Deuteronomy 6:1-9, 20-25

Again, I introduce the next Sunday School lesson with a series of questions for personal introspection, evaluation, and heart-searching:

“Which the LORD your God commanded to teach you” (1) — Must all I teach be at God’s command as well as be sourced in Him?

Must I always be first and continually a learner of that which I would teach?

What benefits do I derive from being obedient?

What must come before diligent parental teaching?

How do I implement this kind of diligent teaching in the New Testament age?

Similarly, how strongly should I take on my Anabaptist heritage and identity?

“And the LORD commanded us to do all…for our good always” (24) — Is that supposed to be the motivation and goal of my teaching as well?

“And it shall be our righteousness” (25) — Just what is my righteousness?

[The Scriptures say in Deuteronomy 6:24 -- And the LORD commanded us to do all...for our good always]
