Deuteronomy 29 · Grade 4
The Secret and the Revealed
Read and Think
Deuteronomy 29 renews the covenant in Moab. Every part of the community stood before God, from leaders to water carriers, foreigners, and little ones. The covenant also reached those not here with us today, future generations, including us in a sense.
Moses recalled God's daily care. For forty years their clothes and sandals did not wear out. Yet he also said that God had not given them a heart to know or eyes to see. They needed God to open their hearts.
Moses warned that anyone who secretly turned to idols, thinking he would be safe, would bring ruin. The chapter ends with a famous verse. Some things are God's secret. But what He has revealed is ours to know and to do.
