“Obedient Faith”
Deuteronomy 4:1-8, 12-13;
In the first three chapters of Deuteronomy, Moses recounted the history of the children of Israel during their wilderness journey. As he reminded the people of their experiences during that time, Moses emphasized their refusal to enter the Promised Land (see Deuteronomy 1:22-38). Now, once again the Israelites found themselves on the border of Canaan, with a new generation waiting across the Jordan River at Beth-peor. But would they repeat the disobedience of the previous generation and refuse to believe and obey God? This week’s lesson reveals that Moses was not going to witness another such rebellion to God’s will. His leadership would soon end, and Joshua would direct the people. But Moses would prepare the Israelites for their life as God’s people in the land of promise.
