It's Friday...the weekend's here!Like a novel, Moses gives us a brief summary of Israel's days in the desert. How sad to read 1:2 when Moses says, "Normally it takes only 11 days to travel from Mount Sinai to Kadesh-barnea ... but forty years after the Israelites left Egypt..." Moses is reminding them of the last time they were there and how they failed to believe God to drive out the inhabitants of the Promised Land. The result - 40 years of wandering in the desert waiting for "the wicked generation" to die off.
As we go through the book of Deuteronomy, Moses will cover a broad spectrum of spiritual issues. He is getting ready to die. In fact, you can read about his emotional attempt to change God's mind about his premature death in 3:23-27. You'll also find that this book has 34 chapters containing the sermons and songs all written by Moses!
Moses' first sermon (Deut.1-4) - Look Back And See God's Faithfulness!
Moses' second sermon (Deut.5-26) - Look Inward And See If You Love God!
Moses' third sermon (Deut.27-30) - Look Forward And Trust God!
Moses' song to Israel (Deut.31-34) - Look Upward And See Your Redeemer!
Here's what you'll see in the rest of this exciting book as Moses speaks of the:
1) Word of God (Chapter 4 & 11)
2) Israel (Chapter 4, 11, 28)
3) Person of God (Chapter 6 - 7)
4) Promises of God (Chapter 7 & 11)
5) Grace of God (Chapter 7)
6) Will of God (Chapter 10)
7) Kings of God (Chapter 17)
8) Great Prophet of God (Chapter 18)
Have a wonderful day in the Lord!
