And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness. Deuteronomy 8:2
Moses was about to depart to glory and in Deuteronomy we have his final words to Israel. Much of the book is occupied with reflecting on Israel’s years in the wilderness and the unfailing faithfulness of God to them there. But now he looked ahead. He knew they were about to begin a new type of experience. In wisdom he knew it was important for Israel to draw confidence and strength to face the future from their past experience with God. This is so necessary in our day. As we face the future, an unknown path, we can look back and see God’s hand at work in our lives, and step forward with boldness to face the challenges ahead. —W. H. Burnett
God holds the future in His hands, and every heart He understands.
On Him depend, He is your friend, He holds the future in His hands. —James Rowe
