ADVENT Day 6...(Deuteronomy 3; Psalm 95)..."Moses sees the Promised Land without entering the Promised Land"

Moses does not get to cross to the Promised Land but he does get to see it from far above. He lives to see the vision become real! Is this not satisfying to see Israel's destination. Is not vision to see the promised land as exciting as entering the Promised Land? Obviously, in God's journey to see with vision is better than wandering in the wilderness. Great leaders do not always complete the journey but they do see the vision. Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King had similar outcomes. Here is the passage...

"Go up to the top of Pisgah and look west and north and south and east. Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross this Jordan. But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see."
