Devotional: Deuteronomy 14

Today’s passage: Deuteronomy 14

Helpful thoughts:

  • The people of Israel were God’s distinct, set apart, chosen people.  They were to live in a unique way from the rest of the world.
    • This affected the way they were to grieve and mourn their lost loved ones (verse 1)
    • This affected the things they were and were not to ear (verses 3-21).
    • This affected the way Israelites were to view possessions and stewardship of what God had entrusted to them (verses 22-29).

Questions to consider:

  1. When God united believing Gentiles and Jews under the New Covenant, what happened to these dietary laws (Acts 10:9-16, 1 Timothy 4:3-5)?
  2. What foods/meats are you surprised to see were considered clean or unclean?
  3. What practices are you surprised to see concerning tithing in Old Covenant Israel?  What would the benefits have been of tithing?  How would giving the first 10% display faith in God more than simply giving out of what is left over at the end of the year?
