Deuteronomy 8 & Matthew 9
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few…” – Matthew 9:37 (ESV)
Go and tell! Do not just “do church, ” but instead be actively sharing the Gospel. The landscape of our world today may look very different to us than it has in the past. We must now step out in faith to proclaim the promises of the Lord to a hurting world!
“The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers. And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years. Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God disciplines you. So you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.” – Deuteronomy 8:1-6 (ESV)
