Deuteronomy 3:12-29

DON’T BE AFRAID, GOD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU

Keywords 3:22

"Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you."

 

1. Allotting land east of the Jordan (12-20)

 Moses gave the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half tribe of Manasseh the Amorite

land east of the Jordan. But they were required to send their fighting men into

battle until they conquered the whole Promised Land west of the Jordan (18). They

couldn’t rest until after God had given all their brothers victory.

 

2. Commission, encourage and strengthen (21-29)

 Moses really wanted to enter the Promised Land. But God would only let

Moses see it from afar. Instead, God told Moses to commission, encourage, and

strengthen Joshua to lead the people to take the land by God’s will and power.

Sometimes we must fight on the front lines; sometimes we only get to see results

from afar; sometimes our task is to commission, encourage, and strengthen

others. Whatever God wants, God’s will be done.

 

Prayer Lord, your will is best. Help me to follow it humbly, thankfully, and

sincerely. I have nothing to fear when I know you are fighting for me in

Jesus’ name.

One Word Don’t be afraid, God will fight for you
