See Yourself Accurately

Deuteronomy 9 exposes a temptation common to all of us: believing we deserve God's blessings because of our own goodness. As the Israelites prepare to enter the Promised Land, God—through Moses—delivers a critical reminder that their inheritance is not a reward for their righteousness but a result of His faithfulness to the promise made to Abraham. This chapter calls on God's people to reject self-righteousness and see themselves clearly in light of His grace. As we continue our journey through Deuteronomy, this message challenges us to reflect on our own hearts, reminding us that our standing before God is never earned but entirely grounded in His mercy.
