Deut 34:4And the LORD said to him, “This is the land I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”
5So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said. 6And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows the location of his grave.
7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not diminished. 8The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.
Several things stick out to me about Moses.
Moses sinned.
God wanted Moses to see the promised land “but you will not cross into it.”
“He buried him in a valley in the land”.... The Lord buried Moses!
At the time of his death, 120 years old, “his eyes were not weak and his vitality had not diminished”.
What do we have in common with Moses? We are sinners too!
The Lord made promises to Moses and kept them.
The Lord will keep His promises to you too.
Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
11It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”e 12For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him, 13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”f
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Have you called on the name of the Lord?
Blessings, David
