Quick thoughts: Moses - "well done my good and faithful servant", Joshua - "be strong and courageous" and Israel - a tiger can't change his stripes. For Israel, the indictments against their resolve to "love the Lord with all their hearts, mind and strength" will continue. God will force them to remember through their disobediance. Purity is something you are by remaining unsoilled. If you play in the mud, expect to get soiled. Moses put it well, in v.27.
Everytime I read this passage, I can't help but think of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Prayers today - schedule resolution and of course, be salt.
PTL - schedule conflict is ok, no need to switch appointments!
