Moses was reminding the Israelites just before he was to leave them in Joshua’s hands about what happened at Mt. Sinai forty years earlier. The people had begged Moses to go and hear from God for them and speak to them all that God said. They were so afraid that they might die from God’s presence. Moses told them God would indeed raise up another prophet like him who would speak the Word of God to them. 1500 years later, Jesus walked the earth ministering to the Israelites.
Luke 5:10-11 “. . And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.”
Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your fulfilled promise in Jesus Christ! May we hear and follow His daily call and every Word. Amen.
