Scripture Union Daily Guide 17 August 2026 Outline
Moses knows that leading a multitude of Israelites to cross the Jordan river into a new land is a huge job. They will enter a foreign land where they will not be welcomed. They will have to wage war against the inhabitants to take possession of the land the Lord has given them. No wonder he encourages and reassures Joshua, his successor, through a command based on a promise (Deuteronomy 3:21-22).
Remembering how God fought for Israel against Sihon and Og because they were doing His will, the Israelites are called again to fully trust God for a new victory. Looking back on God’s faithfulness on your own life, how can you trust Him with your present situations or even your future?
Observe how Moses pleads with the Lord to enter the Promised Land. Unfortunately, because of Moses’ sin at Meribah, the Lord forbids him from entering Canaan (Numbers 20:10-13). Note that God does not change His mind. Sometimes God will say no to even the greatest man of prayer. Moses’ sin, as a leader and as someone who received and taught God’s laws, is judged severely. But in His love, God allows Moses to see the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 3:27).
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Jeremiah 17:14
