Vayelech וַיֵּלֶךְ - And He Went
Deuteronomy 31:1-31:30
Reading #1 - Deuteronomy 31:1–3
My Thoughts:
In verse 3 we read, “Hashem your Elohim Himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them.” This has been His promise. Hashem will go ahead and clear the path. And He will help you to keep it clean. It makes me think about how life is today. For those of us who follow and love Hashem, and obey His voice, keep His commandments -- He goes ahead of us. Right now I am working on a huge project. It is a pro-life ministry and we are starting it from scratch. A very large task, but Hashem has been going ahead of us and clearing the way! He has opened doors and directed our path. Honestly, we could not do this without Him. What have you got going in your life that you need Hashem to go ahead of you? Ask for His help today!
Challenge:
Moses has been leading the way for over 40 years. And now, his predecessor Joshua, is going to take over. Remember Joshua has been the super faithful one. He came back from spying the land and gave a confident, faith-filled report. He basically said, “No problem! With Hashem’s help we will enter the land!”. While his friends had all sorts of doubts and fears (except Caleb). And we see shortly when Hashem sends him into the land, He tells him to be strong and courageous. That He will go with him (Joshua 1:9). My challenge for you today is to think about how you need Hashem in your life -- maybe a special project/relationship/job you are working on. Ask Him to lead the way for you and to get rid of any interference. When you realize that you are not alone, but have the Mighty One with you, your attitude will surely change for the good! Amen!
Reading #1 - Deuteronomy 31:1–3
31:1 Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. 2 He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old today. I can no more go out and come in. Hashem has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’ 3 Hashem your Elohim Himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, as Hashem has spoken.
