Read Deuteronomy 8:10-18
We said it before and we’ll probably say it again. God hates pride. But how can you and I fight off pride?
Verse 10 gives one way of dealing with potential pride - praise the Lord.
When we offer genuine praise to God we are putting both Him and ourselves in their proper perspective. Praise is a public acknowledgement that all that we have achieved or all that we have is from God. When we praise God we are reminding our selves and each other of God’s active involvement and provision in our lives. Praising God is an act of humility where we put God in His rightful place.
As vs 12-14 show, an absence of praise allows pride to grow and develop. The glory and honour that should naturally go to the Lord will flow onto someone else, usually ourselves. If we are not praising God then we will be looking at our own power, our own strength, our own intelligence, our own ingenuity and we’ll lap up the praise and adoration.
Let us develop an attitude of gratitude. Let us work at giving genuine praise to God at every possible opportunity. After meals or before them, it’s easy to praise God for His provision. When we are blessed with wealth, we can praise God. When things things go well we can sing God’s praises. But we need to develop this ability to include even the rough times, the slippery slopes of life and the trials and temptations. At all times our praises and adorations need to be genuine and from the heart. As a general rule, don’t praise God for anything that you’re not genuinely thankful for. There is nothing more insulting and off putting than half hearted praises. Initially it may seem contrived and fake but pretty soon you’ll be praising God and singing His glories in everything. Like any new skill or ability it requires practice and work. Why not practice today. Start praising God.
Prayer:
¥ Think of 10 things that you can praise God for since yesterday. Spend a few minutes thanking and praising God for each one.
¥ Praise God for 10 believers in your congregation. Tell God why you are praising Him for these believers.
¥ Pray for our elders. Ask God to bless these men with wisdom and a deep love and understanding of the Word of God. Pray that these men will apply the Word firstly to themselves and then that they would help us apply it to our own lives.
¥ Pray too that all our cell leaders would be equipped to lead cell and to pastor/shepherd the people in their cell. Pray that they would be wise in managing and juggling time, family commitments etc.

Read Deuteronomy 8:6-9. Hebrews 12:22-29
As you read the Bible, pay attention to two things. Firstly consider the connector words at the start of each sentence where these kinds of words occur. Words like ’and’, ’for’, ‘since’, and ‘therefore’ are key indicators to the flow and meaning of the passage. These words help us to correctly interpret the passage.
Secondly pay attention to the tense of the Word. What does that mean? Think of past tense, present tense and future tense. Is the word depicting something that happened in the past, in the present or is it looking into the future?
Can you see any of these connector words in vs 6-9? In vs 7 the word ‘for’ joins or connects the Promised Land with the required obedience. If the word ‘for’ were not there we could easily read into the passage a theology of salvation by works. Obey the Lord and He will bring you into the Promised Land. Such an abomination is removed by the presence of the connecting word ‘for’.
So what is the passage saying? There is clearly a command to obey God and to walk in His way and to fear or revere Him. The connector word builds the logic for us. We are to act like this because God is giving the people the Promised Land. Notice the tense of vs 7. God is “bringing” (a present tense) into the Promised Land.
If we pay attention to the tense of words and the connectors we can correctly interpret the passage. God’s people are called to obey God and to walk in His paths because He is working among them to bring them into the Promised Land. With such a reading, the passage cannot be made to speak of salvation by works.
New Testament believers (including you and I) are in the same boat. Notice what God tells us in Hebrews 12:28-29? We are receiving (note the present tense) a kingdom that is eternal. Since this kingdom cannot be shaken we should be worshipping God in reverence and awe. We should be standing before God with adoration and praise. We should be living lives that show the world the kingdom we are currently inheriting.
And did you notice the connector word in Hebrews 12:28? Let me ask you, ‘What’s it there for?’ How does it help you interpret the passage? Why don’t you spend a bit of time reflecting on the wider passage, seeing if you can correctly interpret the passage.
Prayer:
¥ Praise the Lord that you are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Tell God what you are looking forward to most in that kingdom.
¥ Praise the Lord that He was willing to send His one and only Son Jesus to die on the cross and to be raised so that you can enter that kingdom. Praise God that He has done everything necessary for you to enter that kingdom.
¥ Pray that you’ll have opportunity to share with others what it means for you to be a part of God’s kingdom and what it means for you to believe in Jesus.

Read Deuteronomy 8:4-5, Hebrews 12:5-13
Verse 4 and 5 of Deuteronomy 8 may seem a rather odd couplet but the presence of vs 4 really does give comfort. This verse negates any claim or complaint that God is a mean, uncaring God who left his people in the desert because of their sinfulness. Rather, God walked with them through the wilderness and provided for them each and every step of the way. God watched over them so that their feet did not swell
and their shoes did not wear out.
Verse 5 has to be read in a totally positive light. God disciplines His children. He disciplines those He loves. The image we have of negative discipline, of angry parents abusively smacking their children, of harsh and cruel discipline, has to be removed. God loves His children and lovingly disciplines His children.
You and I can confidently see all hardship (life, finances, uni or school, work, relational and so on) as God’s hand of discipline in our lives. It doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve sinned or angered God. It means that God loves us and is working in us to produce something positive and Jesus-like. Every year I prune my fruit trees and not because I hate them! It’s not because they’ve done something against me or caused me anger or harm. The pruning, as painful as it is, is so that they grow much more fruit. Through painful and trying times, God is pruning you and causing you to bear much more fruit.
Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah!
Prayer:
¥ Praise God and thank Him for being a loving God who is willing and ready to discipline us for our good. Thank God that during the tough times in your life He has disciplined you.
¥ Praise the Lord that He is a God of love who doesn’t let us wallow or drown in our sins. Praise God that He disciplines us for our good, for our eternal welfare! Praise God that He loves us enough not to leave us alone.
¥ Pray for our brothers and sisters in Myanmar who are experiencing persecution for their faith. Pray especially for the Karen people. Ask God to equip these believers and to make them bright lights for Jesus’ love

Read Deuteronomy 8:3
I don’t think I ever realised the depth of meaning in Deuteronomy 8:3 until the Lord called me to fast and pray for an entire week. When you have passed the point of hunger, when you have given up worrying or thinking about food, you begin to realise that God and having a relationship with Him far exceeds anything else, even the food we need to survive. We need every word that comes from the mouth of God. It is our spiritual diet, our spiritual nourishment and absolutely vital for life, true Jesus-centred life.
God led Israel through the wilderness for 40 years. It must have been unimaginably difficult at times. It must have been frightening and nerve wracking. But God was bringing the people to realise that His Word was far more important and far more valuable than our daily food.
If only the children of God would hunger after the Word of God more than our daily food needs and desires. If only the people of God would crave the Word like we crave chocolate and sweets. If only we would hunger after God’s Word and spend as much time, if not more, in the Word than we do in preparing food and eating food. If only we would know the value and benefit of feeding on the Word of God. If only we snacked on the Word as much and as often as we snacked on food.
Let me encourage you to re-capture the love of God’s Word. Perhaps you could think through fasting and praying, say once a week or once a fortnight. Perhaps you could set a program to read through the Bible in a year. Perhaps you could read together one chapter each night as a family. Do whatever it takes to fall in love with God’s Word all over again!
Prayer:
¥ Pray for those in your congregation (pray for them by name) who are ill or suffering. Pray that the Lord would have His gracious hand upon them and bring healing and relief. Pray that these people would trust God and look to Him for strength.
¥ Pray that God would grow trust and faith within each of us and that together we would be equipping and spurring each other onto love and good deeds.
¥ Pray that we would see many people come to the Lord in faith and repentance. Ask God to open doors of opportunity for each of us to share our faith in Christ.

Read Deuteronomy 8:1-2.
A Christian friend of mine spent many years raising a then wayward son. He went through hell on earth and suffered immensely at the hands of that boy. But he managed to praise God through it all. Years later, in reflecting on those years of parenting he was able to reflect, ‘God taught me so much through my son. He showed me how much sin and rebellion was still in my heart’. When questioned even further he explained, ‘My son treated me the way I treated God. He taught me how God feels when I rebel against the Lord. I grew more than my son in those years’.
Often we see the word discipline as negative, except if we are in training for a sporting event or match. For some reason we tend to look down upon any discipline that builds character or promotes goodness, righteousness and holiness. Yet we accept, even promote, any discipline that builds sporting prowess, ability and fitness. Physical fitness, says Paul the Apostle, has some value but godliness has value in all things both in this life and the next! And yet discipline continues to get a bad rap. Personally, I can’t remember the last time I praised God for disciplining me.
As Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years, she was being disciplined by the Lord. God was disciplining Israel, humbling her and showing forth what was really in her heart. God didn’t need to know or discover it, because He knows all things, but Israel did. Through the pain and trial of 40 years she would learn many things about herself, her stubbornness and faithlessness, her penchant for disobedience and her desperate need for the Lord to be gracious.
God disciplines those He loves. It is not that God is being malicious or hard hearted. He is not being cruel. Through tough situations, through painful life experiences God is teaching you, revealing your heart and showing you where you need to grow and improve. When the coach points out these things, we praise him for it. Let’s do the same with God. Let’s praise Him for working on us, for not giving up on us and for not leaving us behind. Through the thick and thin of life God is polishing you and preparing you for heaven. Surely that deserves at least a ‘Thank you Lord’.
Prayer:
¥ Praise the Lord for those in your congregation who have a strong and growing faith. Thank God that He has grown them and is working powerfully in your congregation.
¥ Praise the Lord for those who do behind the scenes admin and support. Thank God that this valuable ministry continues week in, week out. Pray that God would bring blessing to these servants.

Read Deuteronomy 7:26
As Israel entered the Promised Land she was commanded to destroy all the idols and images of false gods and the people that worshipped them. Now that may seem harsh but imagine if a father came home to find a syringe and small packet of white powder in his daughter’s school bag. Would he not destroy it? Would he not remove the influence completely? Love and (positive) jealousy necessitate the removal of things that harm those we love. When God commands the people to remove all idols and images and forms, He is doing so out of love and positive jealousy. He is doing so for our welfare and for our benefit.
The final command not to bring any detestable thing into one’s house is along the same vein. God absolutely hates idols and false gods. He will destroy these icons as well as those who bow down to them. It is for our benefit that God says, ‘Don’t go there!’.
As Christians we need to realise that this is still a valuable command to uphold. Think about your own house and what you have inside your house. Do you have hidden away any detestable things? These could include pornography, movies with illicit sex (& other) scenes, phones with inappropriate songs or pictures or videos on them, drugs, stolen goods, things that we worship and bow down to and so on. God doesn’t want them in our homes, not because He’s a kill-joy God, but because it’s for our good. God wants to lavish us with His love and goodness. These detestable things that we cling to and hide away to use when no one’s looking anger God, sadden God and bring judgement/discipline upon ourselves.
Prayer:
¥ Praise the Lord for those who prepare men’s ministry events and women’s ministry events regularly. Thank God for their faithful and consistent service. Pray that they would be overwhelmed by God’s love.
¥ Praise God for those who help out with Sonday Church rosters. Praise God that these selfless acts of service benefit all of us. Pray that God would reward each one for their sacrificial service.
¥ Praise the Lord for each individual and family unit that supports the church financially. Praise God for their faithfulness in this area.

Read Deuteronomy 7:11-25
As a father I love to bless my children and to give to them. If you can understand that love and if you have experienced it with your own children or your friends, then you are starting to understand how God feels towards His children.
God loves to bless, to give to His children. He loves to lavish His children with His goodness, His mercy and His grace. But that love is never in a vacuum. It is always in the context of a covenant relationship. God will not bless and give generously to His people if (or while) they walk in disobedience. God’s fatherly love is lavished upon His children as they walk in love and obedience. His fatherly discipline and chastisement awaits those who continue to walk in disobedience.
It’s a lesson we need to learn and apply to our own lives. We cannot and should not expect to be blessed by God and lavished by Him if we walk in disobedience. God is holy and righteous and He will not tolerate sin among His people. He will discipline us and chastise us as necessary. And if we are prone to stubbornness like the Israelites, we need to remember that God has a lot more time on His hands than we do. He can sit and wait patiently for us to come around!
But as God’s people love Him and serve Him they can expect God to be powerfully at work among them, even fighting for them and preparing the way for them to enter the Promised Land. Verses 15-25 remind me of a young boy, about 4 years old, who was too scared to play in the park where the older boys were playing loudly and roughly. Israel is that little boy sitting on the edge of the Jordan looking at the park across the river and wanting desperately to go and play but being very much afraid. When that little boy saw his dad come to sit and watch, his countenance changed. He became courageous and ran off with glee to play and frolic in the park. Our heavenly Father promises to do more than to sit and watch us. He promises to hold our hand, to watch out for us and to be with us through all trials. Knowing that God is with us and for us should make us courageous and fearless. We can tackle anything because God has promised to be with us. Israel could march confidently into the Promised Land because God was with them. You can march confidently into all of life because God is with you.
Prayer:
¥ Praise God for the various cell leaders among us. Praise God that they are willing to prepare and lead week by week. Pray that God would make their work a joy and that he would be close to them, granting them wisdom and insight into the Word each week.
¥ Praise God for our Extreme Team who are willing to reach out to non Church families each month. Praise the Lord that this ministry has born fruit. Pray that God would bless and encourage and strengthen each and every single worker.
¥ Praise God for those who preach and teach the congregation each week. Pray that these men would be granted wisdom, & insight and that they would see the fruit of their labours.
