Joshua 13:1-33; Isaiah 9:8-10:4; Luke 24:36-53
And the Lord shewed him a tree… Exodus 15:25
According unto the pattern which the Lord had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick. Numbers 8:4
And the Lord shewed him all the land… Deuteronomy 34:1
Moses was shown these things during the wilderness journey. A tree—a provision to sweeten. Thank God for the cross, for the One who suffered the bitterness of God’s wrath, that we may taste the sweet waters of salvation! The pattern—a plan to follow. A supernatural revelation that Moses never deviated from. May we follow closely all God’s instructions! The land—a prospect to enjoy. What future glory lies ahead in the Promised Land! Past, present and
future—so much to appreciate! —Pete Smith
May faith grow firm and love grow warm,
And pure devotion rise. —William Cullen Bryant
