Deuteronomy the first chapter describes the Lord telling his people just as they were, you know, to get to the promised land.

He gave them a word.

And this word, he repeated. We're going to take time and read a word. And this word, he repeated.

We're going to take time and read about three different passages.

Are you in a big, big rush tonight?

Good.

Deuteronomy 1 Verse 19

He said when we were

Departed from Horrib we went through that great terrible wilderness

You saw by the way the mountain of the Amarites and the Lord commanded us

We came to Kadesh Barnea

That was the point where they sent the spies into the land, and they came back and gave the report.

Ten of them said, we can't do it, and Joshua and Caleb said we can.

That was really a breaking point in some ways.

But he gave them this word before that.

He's preparing them because he knows what's coming up.

He knows when they see the giants, when they see the walled cities, it's going to be dawning.

He told them about how great the land was.

He didn't tell them, you know, a lot of detail about the giants and the walled cities and all of that.

And part of the reason is he don't want them quitting before they get there.

That's right.

Right?
