Getting close to the Promised Land

Moses is giving several farewell addresses to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land -Finally!  He is reminding them ALL that God has done for them and ALL that He has provided for them as they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.  Murmuring and complaining kept the Israelites on a very long journey that should have been only a few days.  Oh, how that is still true today.  God's people - well we still murmur and complain, don't we?  We are still going around that mountain after all these years.  I want to challenge you today.  In the next week's readings, as we see Moses die and Joshua being instructed to lead the remaining Israelites into the land of milk and honey, into the Promised Land, what have you been murmuring and complaining about; what has held you in the wilderness for far too long????  Be free today!  When God created you, he placed your eyes in the front of your head/face so we would always look forward.  We have to physically move our body to look behind us.  Stay face forward with your eyes firmly planted on the Lord and move into your Promised Land of freedom and redemption on this day. 
I will be praying earnestly for you this week as you cross the Jordan River with Jesus right by your side.
Enjoying the Journey,
Marta
