Podcast Introduction

Today is Monday, which is the day we read from one of the books of the Law. We’ll begin the book of Deuteronomy by reading chapters 1-3. And by the way, this is the final book of the five books in the Pentateuch, or the Law. In aeronautical terms, we are beginning our final approach to land this season of the Lifespring Family Audio Bible. We’ll be reading Deuteronomy on the remaining eleven Mondays of the season, including today. I do have an on this date in church history for you. I’m calling today’s episode “Moses On The Threshold.”

Comments on Deuteronomy 1-3

Over and over again, as we read how God directed them to take new portions of the Promised Land, God told them through Moses, "See, the Lord your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

In other words, they are told, "God has already won. He has given you the victory. Don't be afraid, don't be discouraged."

Beloved, are you afraid? Are you discouraged? Is there a battle in your life that seems to have you defeated? Something that you cannot get victory over? If you have put your faith in Jesus, then you have everything you need to claim victory. Jesus defeated sin and death because of his death on the cross and resurrection on the third day. If you belong to Jesus, the chains of sin are broken. You are no longer a slave to it. Leave it behind, as the children of Israel left the wilderness behind when they entered the Promised Land. Don't look back! Look ahead. Keep your eyes on Jesus. He is the fulfillment of the promise of a new life. You have only to claim it. 

"See, the Lord your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
