GOD'S WILL, GOD'S WAY

"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 ESV. The Hebrew people’s journey from Egypt to the Promised Land offers many lessons. It was in the desert where the idolatrous influence of Egypt and the deep scars of enslavement were confronted; the people of Israel were slowly being delivered from the past so they could embrace their future. While wandering forty years, God’s people learned to chase after the cloud and trust God’s daily provision. Climatic moments brought the Ten Commandments, deliverance from enemies and cleansing from cultivators of sedition. They were learning to do God’s will God’s way. Lord, thank You for streams of life that only the desert can reveal. Out of barren rock flows living water to those who seek Your face.
