Deuteronomy 1-4

The book of Deuteronomy is the last book of Moses, or in Jewish culture it is known as last book of the Torah. Moses begins to remind the people of Israel of all that has happen over the course of forty years in the wilderness. He begins to direct a new generation to what God requires of them, as they are about to head over to the land God has promised them. Many of the things that are written occurs in the previous books of numbers, Leviticus, and Exodus. One thing i have noticed while reading over the first couple of chapters of Deuteronomy is, reflecting on what God has done in the past really helps with what you want to do in the future. Moses shares with the people the glory of who God is, and the promises He makes. I too began doing the same thing, taking a look back and highlighting what God has done for me and my family and friends. It truly is a blessing to even know God in such a way. I now look forward to the days ahead knowing that they will someday be days i will reflect on and give praise to God for showing me once again how amazing He truly is. And if you are reading this and are thinking, "well God hasn't really done much for me" i would like to challenge you to look again knowing that the very breath you are taking is a gift from God. Ask God to reveal himself in moments you might have missed him for whatever reason, and ask to be more sensitive to his presence for the remaining days ahead.

prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, so glorious and wonderful you are. Thank you for allowing me to look back on those times in which you did hold me close, those times in which you spoke encouraging words into my heart when not even a whisper came from the lips of those around me. Thank you for quenching my thirst for truth, and feeding my hunger for love, and purpose. Lord let me give praise to you for being so faithful even during the days i completely lost faith. Thank you Lord truly, abiding in you till i meet you face to face in your holy and precious name Jesus i pray, Amen.
