Deuteronomy 1

Moses reflects upon some of the particular challenges he had faced as leader of God’s people.  This sets the tone of Deuteronomy — a book of reflection.  We don’t get a lot of new material in this book, but we do see the history reflected on in a more personal way.  We are hearing the heart and passion of Moses in this book.

LORD, as we face the challenges you set before us, may we be sure to take your side, as Moses did.
