SCRIPTURE

DEUTERONOMY 31:1–8

BACKGROUND & CONTEXT

The forty years of wandering through the wilderness had ended. The faithless generation had faced their punishment and died off (Num.14), leaving only Caleb, Joshua, and Moses. But, as he was 120 years old and told that he would see but not enter the Promised Land (Deut. 32:52), Moses prepared his successor, Joshua. Taking over for Moses would cause any leader to have some doubts, so Moses' encouragement was, "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear..." (Deut. 31:6).

Read Deuteronomy 3 1:1 – 3 and discuss 1 – 2 of these questions:

• What kind of example is your faith to those around you?

• How would you rate your belief, between 1 – 5, that God will always show up in your life?

• What do you think a life of faith should look like?

Read Deuteronomy 31:4 – 6 and discuss 1 – 2 of these questions:

• What are some of the ways you know God provided for Moses and Israel?

• How do you think it felt for Joshua to take over for Moses?

• What does it mean to you to be strong and courageous?

• What does it mean to you that God will never forget you?

Read Deuteronomy 31:7 – 8 and discuss 1 – 2 of these questions:

• What is something God has been teaching you in the last few months?

• What has been your biggest worry or fear lately?

• How might your biggest worry or fear and what God’s been teaching you be connected?

CONNECTION

How can you better remember and hold on to those legacy moments with God?

APPLY IT

This week, take some time to think about the moments in your life where God has shown up in big and small ways.

Maybe it’s through something you have read, a situation at school or home, or something someone has said to you.

Write these moments down and put them somewhere you can return to when you feel overwhelmed.

Be Specific:

What are you going to do?

When are you going to do it?

Is there someone who can keep you accountable?

PRAYER:

Take time to pray for each other’s applications in the upcoming weeks.
