Deuteronomy 33:1-34:12
The
Lord's work is moving on. The Lord's servant - Moses - is looking
towards the future. He is pronouncing God's blessing on the people of
Israel. He pays special attention to each tribe. There is a Word from
the Lord for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The people of Israel
had been "blessed" - "a nation saved by the Lord" (Deuteronomy 33:29).
The future lay with the whole people of God, as they moved forward
together. there was, however, to be one man who was called to special
leadership among the people - Joshua. For this work, Joshua was "filled
with the Spirit" (Deuteronomy 34:9). The people of God were moving
forward, but they would not forget where they had come from - how the
Lord had led them. They remembered Moses (Deuteronomy 34:10-12) - and
they gave thanks to God.
