You're listening to the Dope Daily Audio Bible, and I'm your guy, pastor Charlie Mitchell, and today we're looking at Deuteronomy chapter 29. Let's roll. These are the words of the covenant that the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab. in addition to the covenant he had made with them at horrid, Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, you have seen with your own eyes, everything the Lord did in Egypt de Pharaoh, to all his officials, to his entire land. You saw with your own eyes the great trials and those great signs and wonders. Yet to this day, the Lord is not giving you a mind to understand eyes, to see, or ears to hear. I led you 40 years in the wilderness. Your clothes and the sandals on your feet did not wear out. You did not eat food or drink wine or beer so that you might know that I am the Lord your God. When you reach this place, king Sahan of Hessman and King, OG of Baan came out against us in battle, but we defeated them. We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and have the tribal manasses. Therefore, observe the words of this covenant and follow them so that you will succeed in everything you do. All of you are standing today before the Lord, your God, your leaders, tribes, elders, officials, all the men of Israel, your dependents, your wives and resident aliens in your camps who cut your wood and draw your water So that you may enter into the covenant of the Lord your God, which he is making with you today, so that you may enter into his oath and so that he may establish you today as his people, and he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I'm making this covenant and this oath not only with you, but also with those who are Standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord, our God, and with those who are not here today. Indeed. You know how we lived in the land of Egypt and passed through the nations where you traveled. you saw their abhorrent images in idols made of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which were among them. Be sure there is no man, woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns from the Lord our God to go and worship the gods of those nations. Be sure there is no root among you bearing poisonous and bitter fruit. When someone hears the words of this oath, he may consider himself exempt thinking, I will have peace even though I may follow my own stubborn heart. This will lead to the destruction of the well watered land as well as the dry land. the Lord will not be willing to forgive him. Instead, His anger and jealousy will burn against that person, and every curse written in this scroll will descend on him. The Lord will blot out his name under heaven and single him out for harm from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law. Future generations of your children who follow you and the foreigner who comes from a distant country, will see the plagues of that land and the sickness the Lord has inflicted on it. All its soil will be a burning waste of sulfur and salt. Unowned producing nothing with no plant growing on it. Just like the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah Abma Zebo, which the Lord demolished in his fierce anger, all the nations will ask, why has the Lord done this to this land? Why this intense outburst of anger? Then people will answer it is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, which he had made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt. They began to serve other gods bowing and worship the gods. They had not known Gods that the Lord had not permitted them to worship. Therefore, the Lord's anger burned against this land, and he brought every curse written in his book on it. The Lord uprooted them from their land in his anger, rage, and intense wrath, and threw them into another land where they are today. The hidden things belong to the Lord our God, but the revealed things belong to us and our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law. Let's pray. Heavenly Father. We are reminded that you have carried us, you've provided for us, and you kept your promises even when we didn't fully understand what we were doing. So, Lord, I pray that you would give us hearts that don't just witness your works, but truly knows you. Keep us from hidden compromise and quiet rebellion. Teach us to walk in covenant with you in a, in a posture of humility with honesty, and with a willingness to obey. Let our faith be authentic, not performative. that our lives reflect that we belong and love you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
