Deuteronomy 3:18-6

Deuteronomy 3:18-6

About the Reading:

We first learn that Moses is not to cross the Jordan.

We also hear more rules of obedience and laws as well as we hear the 10 commandments.

My Thoughts and Notes:

Deuteronomy 4:9 states:

“Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.”

That speaks to me.  It is, in a way, a reminder to myself to remember all that we have read so far and to never forget, never let our children forget.

Imagine, these words have been passed from generation to generation for so many years.  It’s really absolutely awesome, isn’t it?

What spoke to you today?

Deuteronomy 1-3:17

Deuteronomy 1-3:17

About the Book:

The last of the books in the Pentateuch, Deuteronomy is a second version of the Law. 

About the Reading:

We start out by hearing the final instructions from Moses to the people.  We also read of the ending of their long journey

My Thoughts and Notes:

How frustrating it must have been for all these people to have been traveling for 40 years in the desert.  God had a purpose in this journey and lessons were learned throughout this time as the people multiplied and became great in number.

I wonder if any of them thought, as they were ending this journey, “yeah, He says it’s the end…but is it really?  Where will be go next?”
