When Moses knew that time for him was running out, he gave a charge to Joshua, saying, "Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach" (Deuteronomy 30:11). As a man who knew his days--possibly even his hours—were numbered, he gave it to him straight. He said that obedience is a choice, a decision which you make. And with obedience comes blessing; with disobedience comes difficulty.
