The Lord Your God Has Blessed You

Scripture:

Deuteronomy 2:7  "For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand.  He knows your trudging around through this great wilderness.  These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing".

Observation:

God is speaking to Moses and helps him remember how good God had been to them.  He reminds Moses that He had been with them and that they lacked nothing throughout the forty years in the wilderness.  When the children of Israel should have definitely been dead in the wilderness, they lacked nothing.  They were under God's judgement, yet never lacked anything.  He still provided every meal for them.

Application:

When we are in a desert place in our lives and we don't feel God's presence as much, we must remember and recount all the good things He has done for us in the past.  We must remember how He has saved us, delivered us and blessed us.  We must remember how we have lacked nothing and we are still alive and well.  We must be a people of thanksgiving.  He has truly blessed us.

Prayer:

Lord God, You are amazing and You have blessed my life over and over again.  You have taken care of me and walked with me through many battles.  You have been faithful to me and I appreciate you.  You have always provided enough for us to make it.  You have always given a way of escape and we have never gon under.

Love You,
Jeff
