Deuteronomy 8:4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. (The idea here is probably not that the Israelites would have had no access to clothing during their wilderness journey because they had animal fur and leather from their flocks from which they could make clothing. More likely, the Lord caused all their clothing supplies that they had brought with them out of Egypt not to become ragged and thread-bare from long use, but to remain new and usable. And, despite their long and arduous desert journey, the people were not plagued by tired and sore feet. If the Lord's righteousness is like a garment He places over us, then this wilderness miracle shows us that His righteousness, our righteousness in Him, never wears out, never gets old, never needs to be discarded, never needs to be changed, but that it remains pure and holy over us. Just as their feet had no callouses and remained healthy and strong enough for them to traverse the desert, He also still empowers us to walk our path in Him so that we do not grow weary. His covering of righteousness and salvation over us does not deteriorate, nor do we grow fatigued from walking under His easy yoke. He gives us the power to remain under His covering andto walk with Him as He makes a way through the most difficult terrain.)
