Moses reminds the Israelites of their disobedience to God and how, because of this disobedience, their ancestors were not allowed to cross the Jordan River and see the promised land. Moses reminds the Israelites of the many times God showed himself mighty by giving kingdoms into their hands so they could pass safety through the lands on their journey. Moses reminds them that God is faithful and will keep his promises if they will obey his commands as they move into Canaan.
I cannot count the consequences suffered for not obeying God. I cannot count the times I have “forgotten” when God showed himself mighty in my life. I cannot count the times God has given me a second chance to turn and seek him with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Is God reminding you of consequences, forgotten times, or promises? How exciting! When you turn to seek Him, He’ll be there!
One other thing Moses tells the Israelites is to pass this history along to their children. If it was important for the Israelite children to know the journey of their ancestors, is not important for our children to know our “journey” with God? Don’t be afraid to tell your story to your children. It will build their faith and strengthen yours.
