May 29, 2019: Day 32 – Deuteronomy 32

What a beautiful song all about the faithfulness of the Lord and the grace which is shown abundantly to the people of God.  Actually, as you read the words it is hard to think of a tune that would come out of this. I think it is better suited for Metallica than it is for Abba.  Once again we get a scene of vengeance and fear infused into the hearts of those who would disobey or those nations that are enemies of Israel.  I guess if you started in vs.36 you get a bit more of a sense of the protection and the provision of God.  

Also in this chapter right  after Moses shares his song with us, we are reminded of the punishment of Moses.  His punishment is that he is not able to enter into the promised land.  Joshua is going to lead the people of Israel into the promised land.  That begins in vs.44ff.  Moses also receives insight into how and where he is going to die.  He can see the land, he can taste the land, but he is not allowed to enter into the land.  

A bit of a morbid end to this chapter, I’m not sure I would want to know how I die.  I’m going to leave you with a clip of one of my favorite movies and one of the favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies: Big Fish.  I edited it to clean it up.
