Deuteronomy

 

Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy means “second law”

Moss climbed Mount Nebo and the Lord was showing him the land promised to the Israelites. “This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob..I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there. (Deut.34:4).

Moses repeats the law to a new generation as they are about to enter as a nation the promised land. He applied this law to their new life and stressed the importance of loving God and obeying Him from the heart.

The nation owned the land by God’s grace and possessed it by God’s power, but they could not enjoy the land unless they obeyed God’s Word.

The new generation (those who survived the 40 years of wandering) had great challenges before them, but the opportunities were even greater.

Moses transferred his leadership to Joshua, who would take them the rest of the way into the land of Canaan.

Most of us can confess to wasted years, years of wandering and confusion when we did not obey the call and commands of God. God will lead us out of the wilderness, if and when we say yes to His call. God wants to be involved in our daily lives, the more we include Him, the more we will find those lives truly worth living.
