“For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.”~ Deut. 2:7
A dear preacher friend recently texted me that he was preparing to teach the book of Deuteronomy in his Sunday School class. Thus, this article.
If the Lord sees fit to spare me, next year I will turn 90 years of age, 65 of which I have had the privilege of walking with my God! As I look back on my pilgrim journey with my Lord I can also say, as Moses recorded Israel’s history, “I have lacked nothing.” He has been with me each step of the way, providing my every need.
Sometimes creating a need, when that is what I needed, thus supplying my every need! Showing He keeps His Word, even when there is a need.
Andrew Bonar writes, “There might be in the history of God’s people a book of Deuteronomy, going over again our wilderness journey.”
It was a new generation to which Moses was recounting God’s dealings with their parents. Remembering God’s past blessings on our forefathers strengthens our present faith!
My mother had a little saying she liked, “Yesterday He helped me, today He did the same, how long will this continue, forever praise His name.”
