Good morning!
Today is a reflection day.
In Deuteronomy 1-4, God’s Word recounts the travels of the Israelites – their wanderings in the wilderness. Imagine forty years in the desert. Toward the end of that time, the Lord instructs Moses to lead the people northward, positioning them to enter the promised land. At this turning point, the Lord says these words:
“For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He knows your going through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.” (Deuteronomy 2:7)
This phrase caught my eye: “He knows your going through this great wilderness.” Have you ever had a season of life that was desolate, dry, thirsty? Maybe you are in the wilderness today. It is so sweet to be reminded that “He knows your going.” He is with us when we are in the trial. He knows what we are enduring. He feels our pain and sorrow, our frustration and impatience. He knows. And He is with us, making every provision. What comfort that brings.
in Him, Mike
