The first few chapters of Deuteronomy
The good thing about the book of Deuteronomy is that Moses gives a nice recount of the Israelites' journey so far, so that in case you've forgotten a thing of two, you get a second chance to hear it again! Moses is talking to the children of the generation who had to wander for forty years because of their disobedience. He's probably telling this next generation so that they'll be hesitant of disobeying God too!
Anyway, the Israelites have finally almost reached the Promised Land! Moses tells them that they'll be going in soon... but it's so sad to me that because Moses was disobedient one time, he wouldn't make it to the
good land. Moses was extremely humble and acceptant of God's decision, however; and not being able to enter the land of milk and honey certainly didn't keep Moses from helping this next generation get there. What a man!
I've just started Deuteronomy and hope to finish it within the next couple of days. Moses is so far one of my favorite characters in the Bible, and it will be sad (for me) when his journey comes to an end.
