Daily Devotion: Deuteronomy 34:10

Deuteronomy 34:10 "And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face"

The Lord took Moses up into the mountaintop and there He showed him the land which had been promised since the days of Abraham. Once Moses saw the land, he died and God buried him there in a place where no one knows.

The children of Israel stayed in that place for thirty days in a state of mourning for Moses. Then they moved on into the land of Canaan under the new leadership of Joshua.

My short devotion this morning is found in God's testimony concerning Moses. "And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face" To this day, Moses is remembered, not only by Israel but every one who calls themselves a Christian and knows anything about the Bible.

In concluding this study of Deuteronomy, I repeat once again the words of the writer of Hebrews concerning Moses. "Moses was faithful in all his house." (Hebrews 3:2) May it be said of all of us that we are faithful unto the Lord.

Daily Devotion: Colossians 1:25-26

Colossians 1:25-26 “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” In verse twenty-four, Paul has expressed his joy in bearing hardship for the church. It is of this church, the body of Jesus Christ, that he is made a minister. Since Paul used the phrase “made a minister” in verse twenty-three of this same chapter, it seems there is something important that he wishes to convey. The Greek word translated as “made” means “to cause to be.” It was the will of God (Col 1:1) that caused Paul to become a minister. God is always the cause of true ministry. Although our fathers may be ministers, if we become true ministers of the gospel it is not because our fathers are ministers. True ministers of the gospel do not take that path because they seek honor for themselves, or b...

Daily Devotion: Exodus 7:6-10

Exodus 7:6-10 "And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent." Moses and Aaron had begun to doubt whether they were right for the job the LORD had given them. Here, it is evident that God granted them a renewal of their faith. Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them. In my opinion, all truly successful outcomes in our lives begin with this. Moses and Aaron were not young men. Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old. Still,...
