75 - Moses dies

Chareen's Thoughts

• The Lord clearly states his judgement for sin and His deliverance.
• Deuteronomy 32:35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense, in the time when their foot shall slide; for the day of their disaster is at hand and their doom comes speedily.
• Deuteronomy 32:39 See now that I, I am He, and there is no god beside Me; I kill and I make alive, I wound and I heal, and there is none who can deliver out of My hand.
• Deuteronomy 32:46-47 He said to them, Set your [minds and] hearts on all the words which I command you this day, that you may command them to your children, that they may be watchful to do all the words of this law. For it is not an empty and worthless trifle for you; it is your [very] life. By it you shall live long in the land which you are going over the Jordan to possess.
• Deuteronomy 32:48-49 And the Lord said to Moses that same day, Get up into this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan which I give to the Israelites for a possession.
• Before Moses departed he pronounced a blessing over each tribe. 
• Psalm 91:1-16
  ¹HE WHO ^[a]dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].    ²I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
      ³For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
      ⁴[Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.
      ⁵You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,
      ⁶Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.
      ⁷A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.
      ⁸Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.
      ⁹Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,^{(A)
      10}There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.
      ¹¹For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].
      ¹²They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.^{(B)
      13}You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.^{(C)
      14}Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].
      ¹⁵He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
      ¹⁶With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.
  
• Such a beautiful Psalm that reminds me of His faithfulness IF I follow Him.
• The Lord told Moses to go to Mount Nebo to view the promised land.
• Moses viewed the land and then the Lord burried him. Moses was 120 years old.

From Wikipedia: Mount Nebo (Arabic: جبل نيبو‎, Jabal Nibu. Hebrew: הַר נְבוֹ‎, Har Nevo, ) is an elevated ridge that is approximately 817 meters (2680 feet) above sea level, in Jordan. The view from the summit provides a panorama of the Holy Land and, to the north, a more limited one of the valley of the River Jordan. The West Bank city of Jericho is usually visible from the summit, as is Jerusalem on a very clear day.
