The children of Israel had been wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. Their time there was not random, but rather planned out by God- a result of their lack of faith in God's provision. Now it is time for them to possess the land that God promised them. Before He gives them their instruction and direction for the land, He takes time to remind them of where they have been. Chapter 33 details their journey. Not just their geographical journey, but also their journey of grace and mercy through God's provision and guidance.
They will receive the promised land. Just like the 40 years of wandering were not random, this entrance is well planned out by God. He gives them the road map to the boundaries; the cities of the Levites, the priestly line; and how they should deal with those who currently possess the land.
Has God placed you in a place where you feel like you are wandering? Does it feel as though you have been forgotten, or are wandering aimlessly with out a plan or a hope for a future? If you are a child of God, He has His eye on your wandering and knows exactly where you are, and where you are going. Trust Him and His plan. He will provide during the time of wandering, and will provide you with the guidance you need to move into the land He has for you and your future.
