Deuteronomy 1:8
See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their offspring after them.’

In the book of Deuteronomy we see Moses addressing the new generation of Israelites. Their parents were the rebellious group of people who refused to believe God and obey God. The book outlines how the nation moved from Egypt to the edge of the promise land and how they rebelled in the process. In the above verse Moses lays out the main thought of the book: I have set the land before you, now go take it. God has set before them an opportunity to seize the land. They can only seize the land by trusting in the promises of God. Because their parents refuse to trust in the promises of God they failed to enter into rest. Moses now is telling them to trust God and don’t be like their parents. The only way they can do that is by leaning into the promises of God. Their parents didn’t do that. Hence they missed the blessings. We miss God’s blessing when we fail to lean into His promises.
