King James Version

What does Deuteronomy 1:29 mean? →

Passage Context

27And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
29Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

Devotional Reflection

FearShame

Moses started his last message to Israel by reminding them that their parents didn't follow God's instructions to enter the Promised Land. The Israelites will have to follow a leader other than Moses for the first time in their lives when Moses dies. Moses wants them to know that God hasn't changed and is still their real leader. In the time of Moses, God had done great things for them. Now, God will use Joshua to do great things in their day. They won't just have second-hand stories of people being saved to tell their grandchildren. They will see with their own eyes how powerful and reliable God is. But they will have to do what their parents didn't do and believe in something that their ancestors didn't.

Prayer

All glory and honor go to You, Almighty and Sovereign LORD, for all the great things You have done to redeem, save, fulfill, and bless Your people throughout the ages. I ask You, dear LORD, to bless Your people today with the faith to believe in Your power, the heart to obey Your Word, and the eyes to see that Your great work is not yet done. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
