A 77 of Heart Dive 365.

I'm your Bible study friend Kenoy.

Welcome to the Heart Dipe podcast.

Welcome back, friends.

Today we are reading from the ESV by Crossway Translation in Deuteronomy chapters 21 through 23. So continuing in some of the community laws and the ethical standards in which they should live by in their communities. But before we begin, if you're part of the HotDive Fam, if you could please help us out by hitting that like button, linking arms with us saying, I'm ready for Bible study, and I think other people should join us to. Make sure you're subscribed to the channel, got that notification bell on. And if you want to join us in conversation, you can head on over to our Facebook group. That link can be found in the description box or the show notes. And of course, lots of other information in there as well. So if you have any questions about this Bible study, please make sure to check that out, especially if you are new here.

And speaking of which, if you are new, and you're wondering, should I just pick up right here

or should I start from the beginning? Definitely recommend starting from the beginning,

especially if you are new to the Bible, because I've been noticing we've been getting a lot

of questions lately that we've answered in some of the previous videos. And not that I don't want to answer those questions, but I think that it would be beneficial for you to have a really good foundation from the get-go from day one. But also don't feel pressured. If you do just want to pick up right here, you absolutely can do that. Do what is best for you. You don't need to copy all of my notes, but they are available for you

in PDF form in the description box. But I always tell people, just do you. You know, whatever works for you. If something sticks out, write it down. If it doesn't, don't write it down. And we move fast around here, so don't forget that you do have a pause button. So if you need to take a break for a moment, write something down, that pause button does some real wonders. Just a reminder, I'm not a theologian. I'm a Bible student right along here with you. I'm your Bible study friend. And so there's going to be lots of mistakes along the way, including this one yesterday. We had a heart check that went up that had the wrong graphics. So I just wanted to put that here for a second. For those of you who actually like to screenshot the heart checks, I know that my verbal did not match up to the question itself. And

that was just because I was tired and sick, filming two videos in one day. And so those things happen.

So thank you for your grace in that. Otherwise, let's go ahead and pray and jump into today's reading.

Heavenly Father, thank you so much for just another day to live, to breathe,

to have life and existence on this earth. Because we do so, Lord, we know that we have purpose in

this very day, even in this very moment right now. Every single breath that we breathe has purpose

on it. You have counted it. It has been written from the beginning of time before we

were even formed in our mother's womb. You already knew how many breaths we would take on this earth.

And so I just pray, Lord, that we will see our lives that way, that we will see the purpose that it

serves. Lord, if we don't even know what that is specifically, I pray that you'll reveal it to us

because your word is the very thing that is

going to give us the directions for our lives, both communally and also personally. And so I just pray

that you will continue to work on our hearts, convict us where you need to, encourage us where you
