As we read in Exodus and Numbers about their wilderness travels toward the land promised to them, we saw again and again a pattern. God would speak to Moses and Moses would convey the message to the people. Now, Moses is about to leave them. How will they hear the voice of the Lord without Moses?
The editors of Deuteronomy had known defeat and exile and were looking toward resettlement. How would the Lord speak to them in their new circumstance?
The need to hear God's message remains our concern. How do we recognize God's voice? (Remember last week's reading from 1 Samuel.) Who can be trusted to interpret God's will for us?
