Moses Blesses the tribes

I feel for Moses. He is about to take his last journey with the Israelites and go up to Mt. Nebo and take a look at this promised land he has talked about for so very long. But then God tells him that he will not see it because him and Arron sinned and that he is to die up there on this mountain. OK, anyone who agrees that that stinks raise your hand! Mine is up. After all he has done, he only gets to look at it from a distance. Ooppss, I am looking at this from a human perspective aren't I. He sinned! Period! The consequences for sin are all lined up. He knew them. OMGosh, he even wrote them (with the hand of God). So basically it is fair.

Why do I bring all that up? How many times in your life have you said those very words? It's not fair! or This Stink! Lots I am sure. But if we stop for one moment and take a look at it from an eternal perspective or at least from a biblical perspective, we can say that not one sin is any worse then the next and the consequences for sin is death. Right? Well, Moses was a great man, but he was not perfect by any means. In human terms...You know the moment Moses died and went to heaven God was right next to him with his arm around Him saying..."Great Job Dude!"

Moses was remember by the Israelites and by all Jews as a man of valor and righteousness. A man of God. I think these verses sum up the reverence with which he is still viewed with. He deserves honoring.

I guess the question is how will you be remembered at the end of life. Will you be remembered as a child of God or will that be the last thing on the list people will remember you for?
