1. The promise of God in his heart (1-4)
Moses climbed Mount Nebo and looked over into the promised land. Moses could not enter the land, but he died with God's promise in his heart.
2. The Lord buried him (5-9)
The people grieved for Moses, for he was their shepherd and they loved him. But his death was not sad. He never became a weak, senile old man. Even though he was 120 years old, his eyes were not weak, nor was his strength gone. When he died, the Lord buried him. He left behind him Joshua, a shepherd whom he had trained and whom God had appointed to take care of God's flock.
3. A man whom the Lord knew face to face (10-12)
Moses did many mighty deeds and showed the mighty power of God through his life. But the greatest thing about him was that the Lord knew him face to face. He had a personal relationship with God.
Application: Lord, help me to grow in my knowledge of you, and in my love for you.
