Deuteronomy 2 (it skipped 1 for some reason...I'll read that some other time.)
[1-12] - They went through several places where God had to say "Don't kill anyone, because you're not getting their land" because that land had been promised to other people. Sometimes, the stuff you're after is just not part of your inheritance, and you have to deal with it. God has stuff for you. Get that stuff. It'll be good stuff. Promise.
[13-15] - I imagine that period where they're waiting for the last generation to die off was very stressful, especially for those last few guys who were probably sleeping with an eye open. And it says that God's hand was against them, so I also imagine some crazy Final Destination stuff happening while they all try to avoid dying for as long as possible.
[16-25] - A little sidetrack with the history of these big Zamzummim folk. Mainly to say that they were to go through Moab and had to again be told not to kill anyone, which they complied with because it was on their way to Heshbon, whom they were allowed to kill as hard as they liked.
[26-37] - They sent a note to King Sihon asking if they could pretty please just pass by with no trouble. I really hope this was some sort of diversion tactic that was going to lead to an ambush, because it would be pretty lame if they had to be told not kill three different countries, and then, when they finally get to one that needs killing, they try to just walk on by. Wouldn't put it past them though.
Anyway, God is like "dangit guys, I said to fight them" so he hardens the king heart to not let them through and forces their hand. So they fight and they win.
Deuteronomy 3
[1-11] Not much to say here, other than they beat the snot out King Og and his country, even though Og's was so huge that his bed was 15 feet long.
[12-22]
Moses reminded Joshua to hold on to everything they had seen thus far when it came to future battles. You always have to remind those under you of what God has done, otherwise it gets easy to freak out.
[23-29]
Moses asked God to reconsider his not being able to enter the promised land, but God was like "Yeah, no."
Luke 6:12-38
[12-19]
Jesus calls the Disciples and heals some folks.
[20-26]
Then we go into the beatitudes. What I mainly take away from this whole speech is that any state you win for yourself won't last. Doing what God tells you to do isn't always glamorous, but it pays out in the end. Winning victory for yourself doesn't get you victory in the future. People use this to glorify poverty and being miserable, but I don't think that was the point.
[27-36]
Again, the point is that we don't play by the same rules. Where the world jockeys for the top of the "I have lots of stuff" leaderboard and is concerned with their own dignity, Kingdom life is about showing God's love to everyone. In a world that cheers for Western shootouts over disputes as a poetic way of death and exalts Asian culture for focusing on personal honor to the point of death, God's Kingdom is not about your personal honor. When people rob you of honor, you bless them back. Weird stuff.
[37-38]
And at the same time the point of it is not to be a miserable little wretch who is constantly stepped on. There are rewards to this lifestyle. God doesn't do this because He thinks it's amusing, but because He's smarter than us and knows this is the best way to live.
