Deuteronomy takes place in the final month of Moses’ life at 120 years of age and is made up of the three final sermons delivered by him to a new generation who were either too young to remember or not born yet when Moses first brought forth the commandments at Mount Sinai 38 years earlier.
Though only one month of it is a message of remembrance spanning God’s faithfulness through those 38 years to encourage a new generation to trust God so that they can enjoy the blessings of all His promises.
Folks, it’s a sad fact that most of our anxiety stems from our failure to recall God’s faithfulness toward us in the past.
Moses reminds them that God’s plan was to bring them right into the land of promise and as we read Moses’ account in 1:26-27 “Nevertheless you would not go up but rebelled against the command of the Lord your God; and you complained in your tents, and said, ‘Because the Lord hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.”
Oh, dear ones how many times do we fail to trust our loving Father and fail to enter into His promises then blame Him for our condition and time in the wilderness of our own making?
