Deut 29:2 …Your eyes have seen all that the LORD did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials and to all his land.
“The LORD has been so very good to me.” What a beautiful way to live life, praising our Savior for His many blessings. If I were to count them all, big and small, I would be counting for a very long time because He is that good, that kind, that loving, that steadfast—to me, to you, to all His children, even now.
Deut 29:3 With your own eyes you saw those great trials, those signs and great wonders.
More than once in the midst of our current madness I have had to remind myself that God is still sovereign, that He is still on His throne. I do not believe He unleashed this virus, but I have no doubt that He knew it was coming. I have no doubt He can use all of this, every single bit, for His glory and our good if we allow.
Deut 29:4 But to this day the LORD has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear.
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for Your sovereignty. Thank You for the realization that You ARE so very good to me, even now. Thank You for the understanding that You have not given me a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear all that You are doing. Help me to make peace with Your mystery while I cling to Your truth. Draw me closer. Amen.
Deut 29:5 Yet the LORD says, “During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.”
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
