More's faithfulness rewarded here on earth...God's faithfulness

Deuteronomy 34
1Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the Lord showed him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan, 2all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea, 3the Negev and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. 4Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it.” 5AND MOSES THE SERVANT OF THE LORD DIED THERE IN MOAB, AS THE Lord had said. 6He buried him[a] in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is. 7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. 8The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.

God would not let Moses actually walk into the land He had promised to give to the Israelites for centuries. Moses had not believed God would do what He said at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin , so Moses took matters into his own hands, and this displeased God (as it should). So Moses' punishment was to not get to enter the land. However, God did not forget Moses or have no pity on him after 40 years of faithfulness. He gave him the opportunity to view the whole land He was giving to the Israelites. 

But even more special, Moses spent his last hours and minutes on this earth talking to God, being with God, viewing the result of God's promises centuries before. Nothing could top that, right? Wrong. God takes it one step further and personally buries Moses. What a close and intimate relationship they had, Moses and God. God reciprocated Moses faithfulness in following Him by sharing the awesome view of the centuries old promise He had made and then personally caring for his body at the time of his death. 

We know there is more waiting for Moses in heaven even more special and even more glorious, but thank you Father, that you care for us all the time in every aspect of our lives in life and in death, in faithfulness and in unfaithfulness. Draw us near to you, so that we can see your face. In Christ's name. Amen.
