Transfer of leadership to Joshua

Here Moses comes to the end of his life and he re-iterated the last 40 years of his life to the Israelites and then he publicly announces that Joshua is his successor. Then he makes sure that the laws that have been written will be publicly read every 7 years at the Feast of the Tabernacle.

But you know what really stinks? after all that Moses has been through to keep the Israelites in a strong relationship with God, God tells him that in the future Israel will surely corrupt themselves with foreign Gods and experience disastrous judgements. So Moses is to teach this beautiful song that is more of a short re-iteration of the relationship that Israel has with God (or more of a poem) so it can be passed down to each of the generations. Then he is told to climb Mt. Nebo so he can see the land in which all these years they have been working so hard to get to.

God is always faithful to us. Faithful to discipline us when we sin, faithful to restore us when we sin, faithful to love us when we sin and faithful to help us turn back to Him when we sin. All we have to do is remember Him, love Him, obey Him, and have faith in Him!
