Deuteronomy 31
"For I know that after my death you will surely act corruptly... In time trouble will befall you, because you will do what is evil in the sight of the LORD,..." (vs 29 NRSV)
Moses is 120 years old. His days are about over. He knows that it won't be long after he`s gone that the Israelites will begin worshipping other gods. He reminds them of God's commands. He reminds them to read them to their children every 7 years so that all will be well with them in the land that the LORD has given them.
Like any good parent (or Pastor) we worry about what will happen when we are not around to remind those we care about what is required to choose and live life abundantly. How soon after we are gone will they forget the blessings that they have received and go chasing after things (gods) that will bring them nothing but pain and sorrow, nothing but curses. And so... While we are still with you we are reminders to you to follow in the way that you should go - the way that will be for you life.
May God bless you with long and fruitful lives.
