Deuteronomy 1-2

It took 10 minutes to read this passage. This is the beginning of a sermon that Moses delivers to Israel. All through thes two chapter Moses refers to God as "your God", and "our God". In keeping with the first commandment Moses is speaking to a new generation of leaders, some of whom have little recolection of the wonders that God did in Egypt. But they are clearly aware of all that God has done to provide for them in the wilderness. They are God's people and he is their one and only God. Thay need to be focused on serving him alone. We need to make sure that we have adopted God just as clearly as he has adopted us.
