I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Deuteronomy 1-2.

    After the Israelites defeated King Sihon and were preparing to enter the Promised Land, Moses recapped their history for the last 40 years. Most of those listening would have been too young to remember what had happened when they first approached the Promised Land. They would however have been familiar with what Moses talked about in chapter 2. Overall, this passage was a reminder of the consequences of not following God’s direction, and of God’s power to overcome opposition when we do follow His direction.
