to all who follow Him

Because YESHUA is, Kathie
I’m taking the verse out of context and I know that is not a good practice but today I think it fits.
Paul was in prison at this writing.
To me, Paul was extreme but in an exceedingly good way; I’d like to be more like him and for you too to be more like him.
He extremely loved people and he extremely desired for people to desire to please The LORD.
We say I will be glad when —-
but Paul said I am glad.
Even in prison, he said I am glad.
What a good and lovely extreme!
17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
Could we easily find something in this day and say I am glad?

Tomorrow, LORD willing, I will be moving into the reading of Joshua.
Today was the finish of Deuteronomy. I am grateful for the gleanings.
I have a picture and a few questions for you. 
Do you see what was the sin that prevented Moses from setting foot onto the Promised Land? Aaron too for that matter, but Aaron died even earlier than did Moses. What else do you see? Do you read Scripture with a mind open to hear what HOLY SPIRIT has to say to you? I hope so. That is my hope too, for myself, and so far this year has been the best in recent memory.
May I encourage you, please, to READ SCRIPTURE.

I am thinking of children as I read Deuteronomy 31:12 and 13.
12Assemble the people—men, women, children, and the foreigners within your gates—so that they may listen and learn to fear the LORD your God and to follow carefully all the words of this law. 13Then their children who do not know the law will listen and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.” source
Children left alone to find GOD alone is most sad to me and I think GOD is not pleased with parents who adopt the way of the evil one to not influence their children to choose GOD; who do not study Scripture for themselves, nor intentionally and consistently read and impart Scripture to their children. I think this from the verses above.
What do you think? 
Imperatively what does Scripture teach us that GOD wants?
