Then I said to you, "Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes." — Deuteronomy 1:29-30
Moses began his farewell message to Israel with a reminder of their parents' refusal to obey God's word to enter the Promised Land. With his death, these Israelites will have to follow a leader other than Moses for the first time in their lives. Moses wants them to know that their real Leader hasn't changed. God had done mighty things for them in Moses' day.
Now God will do mighty things in their day through Joshua. They will have more than second hand deliverance stories to tell their grandchildren. They will be eyewitnesses of God's power and faithfulness. But they would have to obey this same command their parents ignored and own a faith that their ancestors did not have!
It’s always very interesting to hear and know about the stories of the past or even adventures. Many will listen and spend some time in pondering the about the lesson that, how they will be benefitted now. What they heard was in the past, results were pertaining to the past period. One will think that how it should affect them in their today’s life.
In spite of all these kind of thoughts some will believe in faith and take the lesson by not only adopting that in their lives but they even practice it.
We the present generation too reading and studying the Word of God, may be daily or once in a while, how much do we believe? Some people in Israelites did believe and followed and got the all needed blessings from God.
Are we ready to follow the same even today?
Questions in Job
39:13
“The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
though they cannot compare
with the wings and feathers of the stork.
39:19
“Do you give the horse its strength
or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
39:27
Does the eagle soar at your command
and build its nest on high?
