Numbers 34-Duteronomy 1

Numbers ends with more laws and Deuteronomy picks right up with the same.  In fact, Deuteronomy means “a repeating of the law.”  Have you ever been told something a thousand times as in “If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times!”? (Mothers have passed down that phrase for a thousand years.)  We don’t need a second retelling of the law; we need to be told a thousand times.  Jesus retold it very well when He said, love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself.  All the law is summed up in these.

Have you ever done anything with all your heart, soul, mind and strength?  You see; if we need to be told once, we need to be told a thousand times.
