*DAILY DEW 3/SEPTEMBER/2023* *The wise man's foolishness* _Key Bible Text:_ *"The king is not to have a large number of horses for his army, and he is not to send people to Egypt to buy horses, because the LORD has said that his people are never to return there. The king is not to have many wives, because this would make him turn away from the LORD; and he is not to make himself rich with silver and gold."* (Deuteronomy 17:16-17(GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ When Moses was getting set to depart and hand over to Joshua, he provided copious and detailed instructions to guide the people of God. The book of Deuteronomy contains a good summary of those instructions Moses gave them. Part of what he gave them instructions and commands included the King they can have over them. In Chapter 17 of Deuteronomy some very clear demands were laid down:- 1. He must be from Israel 2. He must not accumulate horses especially horses from Egypt-- he must never go back there or make Israelites to go there. 3. He must not multiply wives unto himself-- he would risk losing his allegiance and worship of the living God If he falls into marrying many wives. 4. He was to keep a copy of the word of God, read it all his life,and ensures he fears, honor and obey God all his life. This fourth instructions came with a promise. *"When he becomes king, he is to have a copy of the book of God's laws and teachings made from the original copy kept by the levitical priests. He is to keep this book near him and read from it all his life, so that he will learn to honor the LORD and to obey faithfully everything that is commanded in it. This will keep him from thinking that he is better than other Israelites and from disobeying the LORD's commands in any way. Then he will reign for many years, and his descendants will rule Israel for many generations."* Deuteronomy 17:18-20 _MEDITATION:_ *What has God required of you as a Christian? Have you found out? Do you know those things God will have you do? Or you don't even know that there are laid down instructions God expects every of His followers to live by?* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_SEPTEMBER,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
