March 15 - Observations

• God has a special property for each tribe and family. As an application for us, we are not living in Grand Rapids, MI by accident. Our houses, our homes, everything in our lives is purposeful. This is the place and time for where God has us.
• Moses’ recap was great in the beginning of Deuteronomy. He spends a little time talking about how he failed to honor God in the site of the people when he hit the rock and water came out. Maybe he is confessing and showing that his inability to enter the land is also a punishment for his lack of faith as well.
• Deuteronomy 4:27 “What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him?” I have never noticed this verse here before. What a great summary of the joy we have as Christians!
