84 - "Moses Lived for Another Kingdom" Deuteronomy 3-4; Luke 2:25-52

So, Moses stayed in the valley.
So intrigued by the way that Moses "let go" of what he had held onto for decades.  A Promised Land.  And your feet will feel the bottom of the ocean floor but no promised land.  And your shoes will never wear out and they will never sashay the soil of the promised land.  And your wilderness steps will turn into bold confidence but not in a promised land.  Your heart is fixed on Another Kingdom. And in Luke 2, Simeon and Anna and Mary all lived for Another Kingdom. 

Moses begs, one last time ...

“Sovereign Lord, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness and your strong hand.  Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.”  Deuteronomy 3:24-25.

And the answer is "no."

Take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children's children— how on the day that you stood before the Lord, He answered.  Deut 4:9-10

 

May Your Sovereignty grip my life, my heart.  Your Greatness.  Your Strong Hand.  You will never let go of us, no matter what.  We can never ever express our Gratitude for what You have done!
