Deuteronomy 33-34 Getting Blessed By God

Moses spoke blessings to the people before God took him away from them to die.  Moses had seen God as no other man had.  He said, “He showed His greatness … He came with a thousand angels … The Lord surely loves His people and takes care of all those who belong to Him … They are taught by Him.”  He then blessed individual tribes, and some of those blessings we could wish for ourselves:

“Lord, make them strong; be pleased with the work they do.  Defeat those who attack them, and don’t let their enemies rise up again … The Lord’s loved ones will lie down in safety, because He protects them all day long.  The ones He loves rest with Him … The everlasting God is your place of safety, and His arms will hold you up forever.  He will force your enemy out ahead of you … You are blessed!  No one else is like you, because you are a people saved by the Lord.  He is your shield and helper, your glorious sword.”

Father, thank You for being my blessing and my defender and my Savior.  You bless me so freely and yet I deserve nothing.  You are such a great a Holy God!

Your Brother In Christ,
