IN THE FATHER’S ARMS

Passage: Deuteronomy 1:31
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.”
Deuteronomy 1:31, NIV
 
And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place
Deuteronomy 1:31, KJV
 
TODAY’S WORD
When God brought the Israelite nation out of Egypt after being in slavery for ten generations, they were not prepared to survive in the wilderness. There was no food, and water was scarce, yet for forty years they never went without either. God gave them manna every morning and brought water out of a rock when they needed it. He supernaturally protected them against enemies and kept them from sickness on their way to the Promised Land. The whole time He was carrying them, sustaining them, as a FATHER carries his CHILDREN.
 
On the way to YOUR promised land, to where God is taking YOU, there will be detours, people who do you wrong, times when you don’t see how it can work out. You don’t have the provision, the dream looks impossible, the obstacle too big. You’ll be tempted to worry, to live stressed out. “NO,” stay in peace. Just as God did for them, He’s carrying you all the way until you get to your destination. You’re in your Father’s arms. He’s holding YOU tightly. Nothing can snatch YOU away.
 
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
“FATHER, thank You for loving me so much that at times You take me into a wilderness place to show me who You are. Thank You that no matter where I go or what I go through, You wrap Your arms around me and carry me. I believe that You are bringing me to where You want me to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
