Numbers 12 presents a different type of complaining by the Israelites. This time
Moses’ own siblings, Aaron and Miriam, challenge his authority. In their ignorance
they are levelling complaints against God Himself, and He will come down and
judge these two. What can we learn from this text? Our sin is remarkably similar to
Miriam and Aaron’s sin. Moses’ meekness and God’s judgement teach us something
that we must know about our Savior.

The curtain of Deuteronomy 34 opens as we, along with Israel, watch Moses walk the 10-mile journey to the mountain from which God will allow him to see the Promised Land and die. We silently witness one of the most remarkable event in all of Scripture: the death of Moses and his burial by God Himself. There was never anyone like Moses either before or after. It makes us wonder - if Moses isn’t getting into the Land on his own mertis, how will we?
Cultivating a Generous Heart

In Deuteronomy 15, we read the instructions for the Sabbatical year of God's people. This Sabbatical year was a time for people to reflect on God's grace and to respond to others in a gracious manner. It is a reminder for us that as Christians, we should be some of the most gracious and generous individuals around, for we have a God who has been abundantly gracious with us.
