Introduction/ Deuteronomy 1-3
A new book! We have moved out of Numbers and finally reached Deuteronomy, also written by Moses
In these chapters, Moses recaps the journey the Israelites have taken, He reminds them of the good and the bad. He recalls the many times the people refused to listen to God and what the consequences were. But he also reminded them of the things they did do, the times they listened.
One of the things that stuck out to me was that while the Israelites were "God's people", that didn't mean that God wasn't taking care of others. Over the course of 40 years, He had twice directed the people to pass through a land without hurting the people of the land. Why? Because He had promised that land to Esau and to Lot.
No matter what, He is a God of promises.
He makes them. He keeps them.
Enough said...for tonight. :)
