Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Deuteronomy 1:2

It is equally to be observed, the time specified yet remaining

to be fulfilled; to show how exact the LORD is to his word, and

to his promise: Reader! let you and I pause in the several

parts of our pilgrimage state; and depend upon it, we shall

find also, no less, how faithful our GOD is. This is one of our

GOD'S precepts, and the observance of it is its own reward; to

remember how the LORD hath dealt by us, that we may know

the righteousness of the LORD. Micah 6:5.
