Today on Meditating the Word, Moses recounts the Desert Wanderings; The command to leave Horeb; the appointment of leaders; the 12 spies; the rebellion; wandering in the wilderness; and the defeat of Sihon.

This is Day 70. We will be reading Deuteronomy 1-2

Father God, thank you for your Word, and thank you for revealing your heart and character to us through it. Even though our Words are powerful, we see that we cannot curse another. The Children of Israel said that they and their children would die in the wilderness. And all the adults 20 years and older died, except for Caleb and Joshua. But all those under the age of 20 lived to inherit the promised land. Help us, Father, to guard our mouths. And to speak words of life and not death. And to bless others as you have blessed us. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
