Miscellaneous Laws-Deuteronomy 24 and 25
Read Deuteronomy 24:5-7
Today’s Truth
These sections of the law focus on relationships, expanding on the eighth and ninth commandments. Deuteronomy 24 begins with laws about divorce and marriage, protecting women from exploitation.
Moses then continues with laws relating to sojourners, children without fathers, and widows. Sojourners are people who are living somewhere or are not native to an area. These laws served in part to protect people who may be taken advantage of.
Discussion Questions
- What opportunities do you have to serve people in need?
- How are you showing Jesus’ love to others?
- Jesus died to pay the penalty for your sin. As you pray today, thank Him for his sacrifice, and ask Him for the strength to forgive others as you have been forgiven.
Application
The Lord instructs His people to provide for the needs of one another. These chapters end with a reminder of how Amalek attacked the people of God at their weak points. Moses reminds the people that the Lord their God will take care of them.
