It is sometimes easier to trust God in a life-threatening battle than in the small challenges of daily life.

Moses simplifies the whole duty of Israel (and of humanity) by crystalizing the moral law into a single command to love God supremely.

Rejoicing is the essence of genuine worship. A sad face (apart from remorse for sin or regret concerning the pain of others) is an affront to a gracious and generous God.

Theological error is the most pernicious of errors; it strikes at man's center and separates him from his Creator and Redeemer. God insisted not only that Israelites should judge their own hearts and cast aside falsehood about Him but that they should also confront it wherever it emerged.

Recalling what our lives were like before Jesus Christ entered them will help keep our daily problems in perspective.

God delights to see His people rejoice in what He has provided.

The most blessed gift that God can give any person is a knowledge of Himself.
