Something written 3500 years old is modern.

1. It was authoritative by the behaviors seen at the cross, when it was "only" 1250 years old.
2. It is modern in what it asks of us in sexual morality
3. It is modern in what it asks us of LOVE; that is, if we find ourselves with an intrusive, inconvenient ox in our driveway.

We sit under the shade of the trees of JUSTICE and GENEROSITY. We did not plant them. They are very well established.

Who planted them? Moses did with God's help.

How can I find out about their foundational days? Read Deuteronomy with me. At least listen for 7 minutes and then subscribe for another dose of shade for tomorrow.

Much of the interaction of God with people surprises me. I suppose it is a healthy thing to be taken aback with these things:

1. The Lord loves the wobbly
2. The Lord loves a good party
3. The Lord loves His bond-servants
4. The Lord loves that Passover morphs into a Person

Join. Listen. Subscribe. Be surprised with me.

I had a friend who rebelled from God for more than 26000 days. Then God got a hold on him, and he got a hold on God. After that, because he was old and in poor health, he was in a big hurry to treasure what God had given him and share it with others.

I liken that to "laying up treasures" or "laying up peaches." Why? because every day is not a late summer day of peach harvest. Or, perhaps you are in community when somebody might need one of the peaches that you have laid aside.

Some days, there will be no sunshine, no warmth, & no big harvest.

BUT if we do this correctly, it will not be a day without peaches.

In the book of Deuteronomy, the good Lord reminds us that He has given us the 4 Superpowers of WORK, Intercession, Obedience, and Reachability.

He's given us power to get wealth.

He's given us access to Himself on behalf of those who are far off.

He's given us the agency to accomplish what He sets before us.

He's given us the understanding to know what He has for us.

Listen 7 minutes with me to be reminded you have superpowers!

What is so surprising about Deuteronomy, 3500 years old, is how contemporarily relevant it is. There is so much to glean from its' pages today. We ignore it at our peril. In it the character of God, the place of Israel, the sweet language of God, and how we'd best interact with Him are revealed.

Join me for 7 minutes as we soak in some truths that go back many many sets of 7 minutes ago. Thank you for being here.

There are a lot of treasures in Deuteronomy. Here are 6 that are *Probably* the best. More humbly, they are *possibly* the best. Says who? Well that's the humbly part. We've exposed ourselves for 86 days to this important book. You can pick your own.

Come back tomorrow, for this podcast is designed for a daily watcher. If you do, no doubt there will be something even better. The Bible works a lot like that. Comment with a favorite impression of Deuteronomy.

Could it be said of you that you know God "face to face?". Is it even possible? At the end of Moses' life, this is how his relationship with God is summarized.

For you, have you "shown him your face?" With out that, there is no face to face.

Have you sought the face of God? Perhaps that is a weak link in the system.

May you see God face to face today. Subscribe and comment to see Him tomorrow.
