Devotionary is a new podcast that is designed to make the Bible accessible and applicable to everyday life. It combines the inspiration of a daily devotional and the insights of a commentary, but in language that is easy-to-understand. We will be working our way through the entire Bible offering a chapter-by-chapter overview of each book. The goal is to give you a solid understanding of the Bible’s overarching and unified message of redemption. We hope you enjoy.

We serve a great God. At least, that’s what we say. But far too often, our perception of God seems to be a lot less flattering. We tend to see Him as distant and disinterested in our lives. Worse yet, there are times we view God as simply good, but not great. We look at our circumstances and deem His power to be limited. Either that, or His love for us is insufficient. And when we have a less-than-flattering view of God, it changes the way we interact with Him. Our obedience becomes spotty. Our faithfulness can grow weak and wavering. And the same thing was true of the Israelites in Moses’ day. That’s why, in Deuteronomy 10:12-22, we have Moses reminding the Israelites of God’s greatness and the need for them to fear, love, and serve Him. Their lives were to reflect His nature, emulating His mercy, love, and justice. As His children, they were to exhibit His character in every area of their lives.
