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

Israel's [as well as our] enjoyment of the land is contingent on their behavior. Blessings or cruses lie before them; the choice is theirs.

Giving works best when the Lord's portion is removed first and believers learn to live within the remainder.

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

The wise Christian will learn from the spiritual blunders of others.

One of the greatest testimonials to God's love is His provision of His Word.

God warned Israel, "And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it" (Ex. 20:25). To pollute something is to make it ordinary. God insists that any approach crafted by human ingenuity will produce a worship system just like all the pagan systems in the world. In other words, it will be common or profane - just like everyone else's paganism.
