Reflection on Deuteronomy 34:1-12

Tissot_Moses_Sees_the_Promised_Land_from_Afar

Scripture

For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the mighty deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

Observation

Moses pronounces blessings on all the tribes of Israel and then climbs Mount Nebo. There the Lord shows him all the land He has promised to the people of Israel.

Moses dies there and the Lord Himself buries him, but no one has ever found the grave.

Joshua is filled with the spirit of wisdom, and the people accept him as Moses’ successor. No prophet has since been as powerful as Moses, nor has anyone performed the mighty deeds of Moses.

Application

Moses was exceptional in his fellowship with the Lord, meeting with Him face to face like a friend. He performed matchless acts of power and passionately pursued intimacy with God.

What God did in Moses, He will do in each of us. He has given us all the Holy Spirit. The Spirit dwells in every believer and releases His power in response to our need and our faith.

We don’t have to seek the Lord on special mountains because His Presence is always with us. As we surrender our hearts and minds to God, we will see mighty miracles take place.

Prayer

Holy Spirit thank you for the knowledge that you are with me. Help me to surrender entirely to you. Amen.
