NOTES for Deu 2:1-37
In their wanderings through the wilderness, the Israelites needed to be guided by the word of the Lord in all their deeds and undertakings. Listening to His voice, they won victories over enemies, and the opposite was also true: disobedience led them to destruction.
For us, as for ancient Israel, obedience to God is vitally important. Agreement with the Father's will leads us to true happiness and to the fulfillment of our calling.
