Review

Reflect
As Moses’ life comes to an end, verses 10–12 of chapter 34 detail his godly legacy. What kind of legacy do you want to leave when your appointed days on earth have come to completion? Take a few minutes to jot down what you hope, by God’s grace, your legacy will be.
"O Lord, how blessed we are to have songs that help us rehearse Your character and Your covenant. May my life produce a hymn for my generation and for those coming behind me to sing, pointing them to the warnings and promises of Your Word and to the future and the hope that can be theirs through Christ. Amen." —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
