Reading:
Deuteronomy 31:1-8

Moses had been on a mission for God for some forty years.

Now the time had come for Joshua to assume that Moses’ task of leading the children of Israel.

To put it another way, Joshua was being commissioned for a new mission.

Jehova, ever so sensitive and gracious toward the needs of His flock, had Moses deliver a message to Joshua:

“And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed” (8).

Lord, I need that message, too!

[The Scriptures say in Deuteronomy 31:3 -- The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee]
from Deuteronomy 31:3

Reading:
Deuteronomy 16:1-15

“And thou shalt remember that…” (12).

Why?

Why does God want me to remember?

And what?

And am I forgetting something He really wants me to remember?

(If I see you’re forgetting something God wants you to remember, do you want me to remind you?)

[The LORD thy God shall bless thee...in all the works of thine hands (Deuteronomy 16:15)]
from Deuteronomy 16:15
