Deuteronomy 34: 1-12
Psalm 66
Matthew 18:15-20
…the Lord showed him all the land. Deuteronomy 34:1
Lord, your faithful servant and friend, Moses had come to the end of his earthly road. It had been a wild and long struggle to get to the edge of the Promised Land. Before he did you gave Moses a glimpse of the land he worked so hard to reach. Moses wasn’t perfect but he followed your guidance, accepted your help and never gave up. Lord, on our journey through the desert we too need your help and guidance. We face so many choices, obstacles and temptations on the way. It’s hard to keep the big picture of your grand plan of my salvation in focus all the time. How Moses must have loved and trusted in you! Lord, I want to love and trust like he did. Help me to not get too bogged down in the trials of the journey and keep in mind the glorious land of heaven that lies before me. Amen.
