Transfer of Leadership to Joshua

Today in Deuteronomy 31 and part of 32 Moses' speaks encouragement to the Israelites.  He reminds them of their previous victories over Sihon and Og and the deliverance of the Lord in those battles.  He assures them that all the nations before them will be dealt with in the same way.  It is always good to remember past victories when heading out to do battle.  Moses also has encouraging words for Joshua, telling him that the Lord will never leave or forsake him. 

God tells Moses to teach the Israelites the Song of Unfaithfulness.   He reminds us and them, that although He has been faithful to them, the Israelites will not return that faithfulness to their God.
