MESSAGE
Welcome to
Daily Bread! Great to have you here for our study of the
fifth and last book of Moses called Deuteronomy. What the book of
Deuteronomy consists of, is a series of farewell messages from Moses to
the new generation of Hebrews, soon to possess the Land of Promise.
Much
of this book is elaboration of the law, but unlike the book of
Leviticus, the main focus of the messages are directed to the laymen of
the congregation rather than the priests.
As
you read the words of Moses, you can almost picture him in a
grandfatherly sort of way, lovingly admonishing the children of Israel
to follow the Lord with all their hearts and avoid the mistakes their
parents made in the wilderness.
MOSES FAREWELL ADDRESS LESSON WITH MOSES FAREWELL ADDRESS EXPLANATION
AND MOSES FAREWELL ADDRESS SUMMARY
In
the first three chapters of Deuteronomy, Moses retells the events that
happened from the time they left Horeb (Mt. Sinai) until after they
killed the Amorites east of the Jordan and possessed that land.
Moses
was 120 years old at this time. Do you remember when God first called
Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt and Moses didn't want
to, because he thought he didn't speak well? After you read the five
books of Moses, can anyone say that Moses wasn't one of the most
articulate people to ever live? He expresses God's message to the people
in the most effective way possible ... Firm, yet tenderly.
That's
a good lesson to us in our daily lives. I'm sure there are times when
each of us feel under qualified to do a job that the Lord assigns to us,
but our perception of what we can do is really not the important thing.
If we will just forget our own opinion of ourselves long enough to let
the Lord work through us ... Each of us can accomplish whatever the Lord's
calling for us may be, no matter how impossible it may seem to us. We just need to let go, and let God.

ADDRESS MEANING AND MOSES FAREWELL ADDRESS DISCUSSION
Everything
you'll read in these first three chapters of Deuteronomy are things that
we've studied before in Daily Bread, so relax and enjoy this great
story-telling that Moses shares as he knows his time is short. Remember,
this is a man who has given the last 40 years of his life for the love
of his God and these, His people the Hebrews, and Moses knows that these are his last words
to them. It must have been a very emotional time for him as well as the
people, knowing they would soon never see this loving soul
anymore.
When
you return for our next segment, we'll find out more about this first
farewell address from Moses, right here at Daily Bread.
