Read Deuteronomy 5
Think About It:
- No other gods before Me—means God demands to be more than “added” to our lives. We don’t just add Jesus to the life we already have. We must give Him all our lives. Failure to obey this commandment is called?
- “God’s jealousy is love in action. He refuses to share the human heart with any rival, not because He is selfish and wants us all for Himself, but because He knows that upon that loyalty to Him depends our very moral life… God is not jealous ofus: He is jealous for” (Redpath) Have you accepted this love?
- God said obedience to His commands would bring what to His people?

Memory Verses:
Older Children: Deuteronomy 5:32-33
Younger Children: Deuteronomy 5:33
In this chapter Moses reviews the ten commandments and how the people reacted to the events of the time. In verse 33, the people are told to walk in the way of the Lord and not to go to the right or to the left.
- What kinds of things could cause people to swerve to the left or right and get off the path God has set for them? Have you ever done things that made you not walk the way God wanted you to? How did that make you feel?
- In verse 33 what does it say your life will be like if you walk in the path that God sets for you?
