Wed.’s Devo - Moses’ Last Day -

Read: Deuteronomy 32:28-52; Luke 12:35-59; Psalm 78:56-64; Proverbs 12:24 We read the end of the song which ends in the near death of their nation. God points out the difference between his children and the children of the enemy. In the end, God will bring vengeance on his enemies and their gods will have no power against him. He will avenge the blood of his children. *** Moses explained that them must sing this song and teach it to their children to warn them to follow the Lord so they could live long in the land. *** On that same day, God sent Moses upon on Mount Nebo so he could see the promised land and then die on the mountain. Aaron had also died on a mountain - Mount Hor. *** In Luke, Jesus is warning his disciples to stay diligent and keep trusting him just like God was telling the Israelites to do. Jesus was referring to his second coming. He promised to return and wanted to find them ready and awake, doing his will. *** Peter asked Jesus who he was telling this parable to and Jesus said it was for the ones who were faithfully following the Lord and looking for his return. *** Jesus didn’t come to bring peace to the earth but to shake it out of its complacency and cause friction which would lead to the right actions. *** He accused them of understanding natural signs of the time and being totally blind to the spiritual signs of the time. He encouraged them to work out disputes among themselves and not let the worldly system decide their fate. *** Lord, may we shake ourselves out of our complacency. May we have eyes to see the times we are living in and be found doing your will.
