Prelude to the Promise

Greetings friends. In Deuteronomy 8 Moses is recorded as reminding the children of Israel about what they should and shouldn’t do, what they should expect upon entering the promise land and also he reminds them of the Lord’s unwavering faithfulness to them.

So you’re nearing the end of a very long journey, a period of drought, of nothingness, perhaps one that has made you doubt its end and question whether the Lord is still with you. The Lord hasn’t forsaken you brethren, and even now Jesus Christ intercedes on your behalf.

In today’s watchword, Moses told the people, “the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land with flowing streams, with springs and underground waters welling up in valleys and hills. Deuteronomy 8:7

The children of Israel were still in the wilderness yet, God already made preparations and wonderful provisions for them. In the same way He provides a way of escape from sin, perfect rest is what He promises to every believer who trusts in Him.

If you are wandering through a particular wilderness today, be reminded and encouraged that God has already prepared good land for you, fertile ground for you to bloom and grow, water to refresh and purify you- He is forever our wellspring of joy.

Romans 8:32 also reminds us that, ‘God who did not withold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else?’ Whatever you may lack today, whatever needs and desires you may have, all can be found in the Lord, as long as we desire and seek God above all else, everything else will fall into place.

Until next week, may holiness unto the Lord comtinue to be our watchword and song.

Amen.
