Deuteronomy 29:29
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. (CSB)

“The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions.“ (NLT)

A good friend asked whatever happened to the ark of the covenant. I asked if he had seen Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was taken up to heaven, if you remember what happened at the end of the movie. Of course, this is only a Steven Spielberg interpretation. Or is it? Where is the last place we see the ark of the covenant in the Bible?

Revelation 11:19 says, “Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant appeared in his temple.”

I’m pretty sure this means we don’t have to go looking for it anymore.

It’s interesting, isn’t it, how people are far more inquisitive regarding things we cannot know than the things we can. God has revealed so much truth, so much of himself to us, that we could spend the rest of our lives pondering and putting into practice what he has clearly made known.

Today’s a good day to listen deeply to God and obey him completely. What this makes possible is far superior in real life to pondering the imponderables with podcasters and YouTubers.

Knowing and experiencing God is way better than reading someone’s speculations about spiritual things. The adventure of a lifetime, and beyond, begins when we take God at his word.

I will hear and obey God and live the life of his dreams for me.

Our Father, give me ears to hear what you are saying to me in the moments of my lifetime. Help me develop the daily habit of listening to you speak through the Bible. Empower me to do what you say. Take me on the thrill ride of your choosing as I get to know your heart and mind, your will and ways. Amen.

Daily D – Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Deuteronomy 26:16-19 “The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him. And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 23:4-5

Deuteronomy 23:4, 5 “For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you. However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 17:16-20

Deuteronomy 17:16-20 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and **he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left.** Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.

Deuteronomy 15:7 “If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward them.”
