Choose Life & Seeking the Lost: Deuteronomy 29–30 and Zacchaeus (Day 108)

Does God still offer a second chance after we've failed? Today in Deuteronomy, Moses renews the covenant with Israel on the plains of Moab. He reminds them that while secret things belong to God, the revealed things belong to us—specifically the choice to return to Him with all our heart. In the Gospel of Luke, we see what "returning" looks like in real time. We follow Jesus into Jericho where He restores sight to a persistent blind man and invites Himself to the home of Zacchaeus, proving that the Son of Man came for one specific reason: to seek and to save the lost.Today’s Scripture:📖 Deuteronomy 29–30:10 – Moses reviews the miraculous journey from Egypt and warns against the "root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit" (idolatry). Yet, he offers a staggering promise: even after exile and failure, if the people return to God, He will "circumcise their hearts" and restore them to the land.📖 Luke 18:31–19:10 – Jesus predicts His death for the third time, but the disciples still don't grasp it. As they approach Jericho, Jesus heals a blind beggar who cries out for mercy. Then, in one of the most famous encounters in the New Testament, Jesus transforms the life of the wealthy tax collector, Zacchaeus.📖 Proverbs 10:1–10 – We begin the "Proverbs of Solomon." This section moves into short, punchy antithetical couplets—contrasting the wise son with the foolish, and the hardworking hand with the slack one.RESOURCES & READ-ALONG 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYKi8-_5xHGL_nFAZOthHtZhcb4CqW4ZF 📖 Follow the Text (LEB): https://biblia.com/books/leb/ 🗓️ Download the Full Plan: https://www.biblica.com/resources/reading-plans/CONNECT & SUPPORT 📧 Questions?
