God created the family to provide a stable environment for children so they could develop the strength of character to leave home and create their own families. Stable families produce strong communities which create a nation capable of withstanding assaults hurled against it. At the core of a stable family is faith in God.
Disappointments are often seen as punishment from God because of sin. Moses faced disappointment but didn’t become disillusioned or turn his back on God’s grace and mercy. God gave him courage and the will to go forward and face the aftermath of poor judgment and bad choices.
Moses’ faith in God remained strong when it came time for him to die. As you commit yourself to Christ Jesus, you can face whatever the future holds. Jesus will comfort and guide you through challenging times. God's grace enables you to count it a joy when life hurls uncertainty your way. God’s presence with you gives evidence of his faithfulness.

I’ve commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t ever be
afraid or discouraged! I am the Lord your God, and I will be there to help you
wherever you go.
~Joshua 1:9 Contemporary English Version
You can never please God without faith, without
depending on him. Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a
God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him.
~Hebrews 11:6 The Living Bible
