Can you spell Deuteronomy without looking at the name of Book? We will be reading one chapter at a time because the chapters are longer. In chapter one, we read of an urgent plea for leadership help! Here is the proposal for bolstering leadership...
"You are too heavy a burden for me to carry alone. The LORD your God has increased your numbers so that today you are as many as the stars in the sky. May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised! But how can I bear your problems and your burdens and your disputes all by myself? Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you."
The criteria for leaders listed wise, understanding, and respected. We still look for those three qualities today!
We still have a way to go in the Psalms with fifty-seven days of Psalms still left.
