What a bummer not to enter the Promised Land. To see it and to do all the work to get the people to the point of entry and then not to enter – man… that would be a bummer, maybe even depressing. So right after Moses was reminded by God that he wasn’t going to enter it ------ he blessed all the people who were going to enter it!

Did you get that? I did. It is easy to want what others have, or if you have matured in Christ, you avoid being jealous and just take your lot in life. Moses goes beyond that and I want to be like Moses. He not only takes his lumps, but he BLESSES the people who were going to get the blessing!

I don’t want to be that kind of person who can’t be happy for others who are being favored or blessed when I am not receiving the same blessing. I want to bless people in their blessing when I am NOT flowing in that blessing. I imagine Moses thought about all the blessings that he HAD experienced, how God had provided for Him and exalted Him and blessed him beyond anything he could have ever asked for. I want to look at what I DO have and bless the Lord. Then I want to bless you – all who would read (hear and experience) my blessing.

Be blessed child – when you wake up, when you lay down, when you sow and when you reap. The favor of God be on you and your family, His confidence in your doings and in your prayers. You are the head and not the tail and have a greater destiny in store for you than you can see. So see it and follow the Lord in everything.
