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.

It's always nice and sweet when Devotions make us feel good about ourselves. But sometimes the Word of God causes me to become uncomfortable. Today's verses bring me to that place. It would be so very easy for me to look at the contrast between what was happening to Jesus and what was happening with Peter. It would be very comfortable for me to sit here this morning and condemn Peter for standing outside by the fire while Jesus was inside being mocked, spat upon, and struck by the servants of the high priest. It would be easy for me to sit here and say, "...
