As Moses is pronouncing his final blessing on the nation of Israel his mind goes back 40 years to his last day as a shepherd of sheep. What sort of details does he recall when he was an 80 year old wanderer, out with his flock? What details does he recall from the bush. Did he still feel the heat? Was the quiver still in his stomach as he remember the first time God called out his name? Was he looking forward to his death? Did he understand that he would see God in the completeness of his glory? Did he understand that he would meet The Prophet who would walk in the land where Moses was not allowed to walk? How many times in his life did his mind go back to that bush?
It took me 17 minutes to read this passage.
