Deuteronomy 28 - Joshua 3

The Torah (the first 5 books of the bible), also known as the law books has just finished. We're now entering into the history books (yeah!) And there were quite some amazing discoveries going through the journey of the torah. Here is where is learn how God loves His people, stands for them, fights their battles, tells them of His laws and corrects them for disobedience. Here is a journey of a people who journeyed out of bondage and slavery into the wilderness and finally into the promise land.

What caught my attention was that throughout their journey in the wilderness their clothes never worn out and their sandals never broke. How cool is that?! No need to go shopping to buy new clothes and shoes! They were also fed miraculously with manna and the occasional quail and water from rocks and their journeys were guided by pillars of cloud and fire. God fights for them in wars and even through all their complainings and disobedience God forgives them in His grace and spares them from utter destruction thanks to Moses' intercession and prayers (He still punishes them of course). God shows His realness and majesty and glory throughout Israel's journey.

Also to note was the blessings and cursings outlined clearly in Deut 28 (which we should take head). "Chose this day life or death, blessings or cursing". is quite the theme of deuteronomy. It's a choice, whether to obey Him or not, life is all about choices. the question for ourselves, are we making the right choices? :)

Moses has now passed on; appointing Joshua as the new leader. His call? To be strong and courages! Bring on the history books!
