[Today: Deuteronomy 1] Believe the Good Report – and LIVE! In this chapter, we introduce the book of Deuteronomy, containing three final messages from the prophet Moses. The people are warned against listening to adverse reports no matter how authoritative their source. Many use their position to paint a dark picture of events on the earth. The positive message seems out of step with the times in consideration of circumstances on the national stage. Israel made this mistake, and it cost an entire generation their destiny. We must find the courage to believe the good report and move toward the promises of God in our lives.
