The Lord Be With You Today!   Deuteronomy 33:28 "So Israel will live in safety; (The Lord declares that His people will be able to abide, literally, to lie down, in safety and security in Him in this new dwelling place of the Promised Land. While they may not have other nations or people come to their aid, and while they may remain a separate people and a people separated unto the Lord, they will be safe under the care of their God. Like Israel of old, when we abide in the Lord, even though we may not have others who come to our aid, because the Lord has chosen and separated us to Him and His purposes, when we place our confidence in Him, He literally enables us to lie down in complete rest in Him.) Jacob will dwell secure (Jacob, the name of Isaac's son before the Lord changed it to Israel, will have a secure line of descendants and fulfill God's promise to Abraham that He would form a people from Abraham, first through his son Isaac then through his grandson Jacob from whom would come the twelve tribes of Israel. Another translation of the line can be that Jacob's spring is secure. Jacob's, Israel's, fountain of posterity will flow out of him as surely as tears might flow from eyes, the literal meaning of spring or fountain. Today, our dwelling is also rooted in secure and safe rest, and the fountain of the Lord's provision and plans for us flow unceasingly.) in a land of grain and new wine, where the heavens drop dew." (Because the Lord assures us of a safe dwelling place, because we are secure in Him, we can also rest in His provision, assured of His reward of the Promised Land of His plenty in our lives, assured of the harvest from the place where He has led us, where the source of His fountain of blessings is never-ending and blessings from His Hand fall over us like the dew of Heaven.) May the Lord richly bless you this day! In Christ's love, Blessings!   Sally 513 254 3874

Good Word for Today!

The Lord Be With You Today!   Deuteronomy 33:27 "The eternal God is your refuge, (Ancient God, the Ancient of Days, outside of space and time, the God Who Was, the God Who Is, the God Who Is To Come, this God has made Himself a dwelling place for us, a sanctuary and shelter for us, a place of abode for us. This God is ... place your own name here ... refuge. This God is your and my refuge.) and underneath are the everlasting arms. (From the earliest point in man's creation to this present day and then into the unknown tomorrow and distant future, at the same time He provides a dwelling place for us, the Lord has, does, and will yet sustain us, support us, and embrace us. He undergirds us, bears us up, champions us, and lends us His shoulder to lean on.) He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, 'Destroy them!'" (In Moses' last words of encouragement to God's people, as they stood on the edge of the Promised Land, the Lord affirms once again to them that He will drive out the Canaanites from the land to which He had led them and in which He had promised them a place of safety, their own home after their bondage and wandering. He also gives them His direct order to go in and destroy those who resisted the Lord and His purposes. While the Lord both dwells in us and holds us close in His arms, He also does battle for us by engaging and defeating the enemy. As He defends us, He enlists us to engage with Him in the battle and directs us to partner with Him to destroy the enemy that confronts us and blocks us from forward progress as He makes our path, our life purposes, clear and unhindered. Nothing, no one, can stand before the might of the Lord's power against our foes.)  May the Lord richly bless you this day! In Christ's love, Blessings!   Sally 513 254 3874

Good Word for Today!

The Lord Be With You Today!   Deuteronomy 33:26 "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, (Moses declares the powerful truth that this God, the God of Israel, is not like the phony gods and idols of any of the other surrounding peoples. This God is completely and mightily different in every way. He is eternal spirit, magnificent perfection, and infinite power and presence. He is like no other, and yet He chooses this people as His Own, His beloved one. He is the God of Israel, the God of Jeshurun, the God of each one of us. The name Jeshurun literally means the upright, beloved one. It is a loving term directed to a child to express affection and tender nurturing and refers to God's people Israel. In the Hebrew, if the name Israel were somewhat abbreviated, it would also be similar to that same loving word for a small child and reflect the same name as Jeshurun. Far more than the most attentive and dedicated father, our Heavenly Father sees us His people through loving and protective eyes and looks on us with tenderness and devotion.) Who rides across the heavens to help you and on the clouds in His majesty." (This description of the Lord is likely a reference to the pillar of cloud and fire that protected and shielded young Israel, but that also guided Israel in its youth through the desert places.  Not only does this completely different God reveal Himself as Mighty and Majestic God when He rides across the heavens, but He also makes Himself known as Warrior, as Helper and Deliverer and Protector of His people. This Heavenly Father Who is also Mighty God, in His splendor, mounts even the highest heavens of the canopy of the firmament, racing through the clouds and the winds, to come to the aid and support of His beloved ones because He chooses to be the God of each one of us.)
