Deuteronomy 1 - 10

Mount Horeb...Mount Sinai...needs trees.
1.
Nice recap. When God says "Do not be afraid...do not be discouraged," He usually gives you prettty good reasons. I'm just saying.
2.
Watch out for Zamzummites.
It's always good to get your game strategy from God.
3.
Og's bed was as big as Shaq's.
Taking the lands east of the Jordan was kinda like the preseason. Just a little tune-up for the main event.
Good leaders know when to pass the torch.
4.
Even Israel was only as good as what the parents passed on to their children.
The day a country turns toward idols is the day their downfall begins.
5.
God delivers. God instructs. God expects obedience. That's not law; that's a response to the Gospel.
6.
Not only was God giving them the Promised Land, He was giving them the equivalent of a "furnished house." Nice set-up.
7.
God has a soft-spot for the little-guy. He still expects fidelity in response, though.
8.
He also doesn't want to be taken for granted during prosperous times. Sometimes He even removes prosperity to get our attention. Apathy is not high on God's list.
9.
God can't stand wickedness or wicked people. Wouldn't it be nice if someone did something to pay for our wickedness so He didn't have to kill us? Oh, wait, didn't someone already do that?
10.
God wants His people to take care of foreigners. After all, He called them (and us) to be His own. Share the wealth, right?
