Day 20

Good morning, today is day 2️⃣0️⃣ of the 60-Day Daily Bible Reading Plan. 

Here's today's reading:

Day 20: Deut 9–12 | Prov 9:13–18 | Luke 20

(chap. 8). In this chapter, he warns about a danger that all believers constantly face: the reappearance of an old sin. In Israel’s case, that sin was rebellion against God.

“But we are a new generation!” the people might have argued. “The old generation that died in the wilderness was guilty of rebellion. We are different!”

But Moses warned them. He knew that human nature is the same from one generation to another and that people rarely learn from the mistakes of others. The sin we think we have conquered is the one that will conquer us. (See 1 Cor. 10:12.)

Your greatest fear may come before the battle (vv. 1–3), but your greatest danger may be after the battle (vv. 4–6). If the victory makes you proud, you will fall; but if God’s blessing humbles you, you will succeed. God is able to make you stand (Rom. 14:4).
