Deuteronomy apparently is like the second law- but not like a new law- like telling you again ... telling you something you already know. Reiterating a truth, you have already been told.
That's the Gospel all over, because when...I don't know, say the cross, say a picture of Mary, say a picture of Saint Peter, a sunset- or rise, or a Preacher, or the bible speaks to you - it's like you've heard it before- like you already know it.
I love Moses - he's exactly my type of guy.
He loves Jesus- he argues with God, he doubts- he doubts his ability! lol - he maybe should have surrendered that !! Perhaps - along with his opinions- but he didn't.
He can't because he's like,' God, no offense- but seriously what are you talking about ? How>? I am not equipped for this!'
Of course in the end Moses, don't see the promised land...you know because God chose him- but he's completely useless and clueless and potentially a bit sulky and doubtful, one time arguably slightly psychotic- definitely mainly angry - and anyway God said 'No'.
I reckon Moses must be in heaven, cos like, it's Moses innit?
Myself, I'm currently debating whether I can justify spending £20 on a pair of Cath Kidson kitchen scales...and slightly thrilled that someone asked me if I'd lost weight- and a bit concerned that Alfie will make breakfast club and not be too revolting after school.
Thank God for work, I say- Hallelujah x
Deuteronomy 1:8 See, I have given you this land.Go in and take possession of the land the Lord swore he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their descendants after them.” 9 At that time I said to you, “You are too heavy a burden for me to carry alone. 10 The Lord your God has increased your numbers so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky. 11 May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised!12 But how can I bear your problems and your burdens and your disputes all by myself? 13 Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you.”
