Deuteronomy 31-32 Life’s Calling and Faith


A practical Deuteronomy 31 study on Moses, Joshua, calling, courage, God’s will, and moving forward by faith.

What does God want from your life? Deuteronomy 31 brings together two major movements: Moses nearing the end of his calling and Joshua stepping into a new responsibility. This Bible study helps us gain a whole-life perspective, evaluate our choices before God, and strengthen our faith for the tasks ahead. The Lord is in charge, the Lord is all-powerful, and the Lord calls His people to be strong and courageous. This lesson is especially helpful for believers wrestling with God’s will, life purpose, fear, discouragement, marriage, family responsibilities, or the next step of obedience.
