  10. Deuteronomy 17:18 “When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the priest, who are Levites. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his brothers and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.”

  11. Deuteronomy 17 Applied The King would have personal time w/ God The King could hold himself accountable The King would be better in discipleship of self The King would be more humble, less hypocritical/ critical The King would be better equipped to help others

  12. Nehemiah 9:38 “In view of all this we are making a binding agreement, putting it in writing, and our leaders, our Levites and our priest are affixing their seals to it.”

  13. Nehemiah 9 Applied Goals and commitments that are not written down are easy to forget. Written commitments are more binding. Written agreements are more likely to be kept.
