Friday's Footnote

Deuteronomy 34:10-12

10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,

11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,

12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.

Good morning, and a Fabulous Friday to all my Family & Friends!

This is another day that the Lord has blessed us to see. Looking out the window of my motor home, I see that it is a sunny day here in Union City, TN. Glad to be alive today!!

In reading through the Bible this year, I came to the final chapter of Deuteronomy; a book filled with much wisdom and promise from God. As I was reading in my Life Application Bible, I read these notes:

"Moses, the man who did not want to be sent to Egypt because he was "slow of speech" (Exodus 4:10), delivered the three addresses to Israel that make up the book of Deuteronomy. God gave him the power to develop from a stuttering shepherd into a national leader and powerful orator. His courage, humility, and wisdom molded the Hebrew slaves into a nation. But Moses was one person who did not let success go to his head. In the end, God was still Moses' best friend. His love, respect, and awe for God had grown daily throughout his life. Moses knew that it was not any greatness in himself that made him successful; it was the greatness of the all-powerful God in whom he trusted."

Deuteronomy 34:10 tells us that the Lord knew Moses "face to face." Now, THAT is what you call a close friendship! Moses felt his inadequacies but, when he placed his trust in God Almighty, he was changed to be what God wanted him to be.

This will always be one of my favorite songs, and it is often more than a song to me; it is a prayer:

Called to Be 

by Jonathan Nelson

Verse One

In the journey of life 

There are winding roads

Mountains high and valleys low

Though the road ahead may be unknown

I'm still focused on the prize that's worth pressing for

Chorus

I will be what You called me to be

I'll say, Yes, Lord, I agree

My desire, passionately

Is to be what You called me to be

That's what I'll be

Verse Two

All road signs read Destiny

I'll follow wherever You lead

Nothing can hinder me

For the prize is all I see

All I see......

Rather than focusing on what we feel we cannot do... let's focus on our Lord Jesus Christ, the One who enables us to be what He has called us to be... through the power of His Spirit that dwells in us!!

Feel after the Father on this Fabulous Friday... He is Forever Faithful!!

Hope to see you some time tomorrow with another spoonful!
