Standing between what God has done and what God will do - that's where Moses found himself at the end of Deuteronomy, and that's where we find ourselves today.

Moses climbed Mount Nebo and saw the promised land spread before him. After 40 years of leading Israel through the wilderness, after the Red Sea crossing and the giving of the law, he could finally see it. But he couldn't enter it. This wasn't the ending we would have written. We wanted the triumphant parade, the victorious crossing, the credits rolling on a completed story.

But God was writing something bigger.

The tension you feel in this story is the same tension you feel in your life. Already forgiven, not yet made perfect. Already adopted, not yet home. Already redeemed, not yet restored. That ache in your bones that whispers "there must be more" isn't evidence that God has failed you. It's proof that God has promised you something bigger than this life can hold.
