I hope you had a good weekend. Ours was busy as
we went out and bought a new car. We needed one that was a little bigger for
our little Avery and all her travel gear. Now we just need to get our other one
sold. I look forward to the summer ahead for it will be a busy one. Be
blessed my friend.

For the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you have done. He has watched your every step through this great wilderness. During these forty years, the Lord your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing.”’
Deuteronomy 2:7
Many times when I think of wandering in the wilderness I imagine being alone in the vast space of nothing. You go from place to place seeking some kind of purpose or reason but just find yourself staring at the same old rocks and sand. It is easy to feel like even the Lord has abandoned you. This is never the case, as the Lord is even with you in the wilderness.
While Israel was wandering those forty years, I am sure there was times when they felt alone or at a loss. Mostly they felt they had missed their one chance to do the Lord’s command so they would perish. Though they did die while wandering, the Lord always gave them a way to come to Him. Through the sacrifices and festivals the people were given every opportunity to be redeemed. The Lord will never leave His people in the wilderness without Himself following behind.
Our Rock, Jesus Christ was with the people in the wilderness just as he is with us in our own desert. When we feel at a loss and like we are searching the desert for some hope, He is there as our Hope and our refuge, taking care of our every step. Remember this passage when it comes to your own life, for the Lord is with you so that you will lack nothing.
