Reading:

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:

Numbers 20:1-13

Welcome to the Sunday School lesson for August 16, 2009.

Here are my questions for now:

  1. What triggers my resistance, challenging-to-authority spirit?
  2. “Why have brought…into this wilderness?” — What are the right answers?
  3. When people question or challenge what I’m doing, what’s my response?
  4. Moses didn’t fully follow instructions, so why did God send water anyway?
  5. “Ye believed me not” — How was what Moses did disbelief?
  6. And why was Aaron punished along with him?
  7. What do I fall back on when I don’t understand God’s ways?
  8. “He was sanctified in them” — how so?

Answer any you wish in the comments below, but I’m particularly interested in your answers to 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8.

Thanks!
