VERSE:
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
THOUGHT:
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!
