Did God bury Moses?
Ps 91...This Psalm would have been more reality to Israel. The battles where they were out numbered and encouraged by God to persist were very real. God promised many times to deliver the enemy into their hands. If there was that kind of willingness on the part of God to fight for His people how much more now? How come we don't see God fighting. Where are the armies today that are lead by God?
