(Dear Lord Jesus, guide me and give me insight as I read and study Your word...)
(Deuteronomy 34:1-12) Now Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, 2 and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, 3 and the Negev and the territory in the Valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 4 Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants’; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go over there.” 5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, in accordance with the word of the Lord. 6 And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no one knows his burial place to this day. 7 Although Moses was 120 years old when he died, his eyesight was not dim, nor had his vigor left him. 8 So the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days; then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.
9 Now Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him; and the sons of Israel listened to him and did as the Lord had commanded Moses. 10 Since that time no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, 11 for all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to perform in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh, all his servants, and all his land— 12 and for all the mighty power and all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:
When our spiritual leaders move, retire or pass away, God is faithful to send replacements. When we pray, God will provide! The Lord is still the One we need to look to for everything, but He does send people into our lives who will equip, lead, challenge, encourage and inspire us to do so.

Moses was the "greatest" prophet the Israelites had ever seen, yet Moses was still not perfect. None of our spiritual leaders are perfect, therefore we should not neglect to pray for them. The more we utilize the Holy Spirit Who dwells within the souls of all believers, the more steadfast and effective we will be.
