Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eyes weren't weak, and he was still strong. He is probably the greatest Israelite leader. He performed great wonders.........and yet, back in the beginning Moses argued with God and didn't feel like he was worthy of sending on his mission.
It never ceases to amaze me what God can do, if we are willing to step out in faith for him. I have a million excuses why I could NEVER do something. I bet Moses felt that way too. Its so often the case that God uses the "least" to accomplish the most. The bible is littered with examples of this. Then why is it so hard to have faith the God really has a plan for my life?......... and its so much grander than the my plan,
The other thing that strikes me in this last chapter is that for all the things Moses did........he died alone. I think its funny that God let him see the promised land. Its almost a taunt. You can see it, but you can't touch it! But, his punishment wasn't so bad. He grew aged....without growing old. When God took him from this earth, he undoubtedly took up a special place in heaven.
Tomorrow starts Joshua
well said, I think I'm probably too focused on accomplishing things of today's world. Doing well at work making some money--proportionately how little of my time do I spend trying to find and walk God's plan for me versus my own plan? looking forward to Joshua.
