NL-Day093 Deuteronomy 2-3; Psalm 50; Acts 8:1-25

March 29, 2026·25 min·2 clips
God denies Moses entry into the promised land, forcing him to commission Joshua instead.
The episode begins with the host introducing day 93 of the Digging Deeper Daily Reading Calendar, focusing on readings from Deuteronomy, Psalms, and Acts. In Deuteronomy 2, Moses continues preaching, recalling how Israel wandered near Mount Seir and was instructed to avoid conflicts with Edomites, Moabites, and Ammonites, as God had given those lands to others. He details the conquest of King Sihon of Heshbon after a failed peace proposal, leading to war and complete destruction. Deuteronomy 3 covers the defeat of King Og of Bashan, another giant Rephaite, and the distribution of conquered lands to tribes like Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh. Moses then pleads with God to cross the Jordan but is denied due to past anger, instead commissioning Joshua to lead. Psalm 50, attributed to Asaph, shifts to God's voice, criticizing Israel's sacrifices as unnecessary since God owns all creation, and calling for thankfulness and obedience. The host connects this to Moses' earlier warnings. Acts 8 starts with Saul persecuting the church after Stephen's death, scattering believers who preach elsewhere. Philip performs miracles in Samaria, drawing crowds and baptizing many, including Simon the sorcerer. When Peter and John arrive, they pray for believers to receive the Holy Spirit, and Simon offers money for this power, leading to Peter's rebuke about repentance. The episode concludes with a prayer for listeners to heed God's word and seek forgiveness.
