Deuteronomy 2:24: History of the Moabites

In this passage, Moses explains how God rewarded Israel for obeying His command not to attack the Moabites and Ammonites. Even though Israel could have taken those lands, they waited and trusted God. As a result, God allowed them to conquer the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites. This teaches us that when we obey God, even if it seems like we are missing out, God will bless us in the end.

v. 24-25: God tells Israel to begin taking possession of Sihon's land (v. 24-25 a). God promises to make the enemy afraid and to help Israel win. But the people still have to fight and work for what God gives them. God’s power will be with them, but they must act in faith (Exodus 15:14 b).
