"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."
- Deuteronomy 2:7
Dear Friends,
Forty years of wandering in the wilderness. The children of Israel set out on a journey that should have been completed much sooner. However, as they took their journey out of captivity their faith wavered many times. They disobeyed God many times. Yet, throughout the years God kept them. At the end of the day God can be trusted to keep His Word.
Like the children of Israel we often travel in a round about way through life. God gives instructions and we ignore them and do it our way. A forty second task takes a whole minute. A twenty four hour job ends up being completed in forty-eight hours. At the end of the day God's way is always the best way.
At the end of the day, we want to be found faithful. At the end of the day, we want to enjoy the favor of God. At the end of the day we want to hear these words: "...Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of the lord." - Matthew 25:23
Joy, at the end of the day.
God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
