Deuteronomy 10 · Grade 4

What the Lord Requires

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 10 shows God's mercy after the golden calf. He told Moses to cut new tablets, and He wrote the same words again. The broken covenant was renewed. The tablets were placed in the ark, and the Levites were set apart to carry it and serve.

Moses then asks one of the Bible's great questions: What does the Lord your God require of you? The answer is to fear Him, walk in His ways, love Him, serve Him with all your heart and soul, and keep His commands for your good. Moses also says, Circumcise your heart. This means letting God make the heart open and soft toward Him.

The God who owns heaven and earth also cares for the weak. He shows no partiality and takes no bribes. He defends the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner. His people must reflect His character.
