Everyone is unique and special. If you do your part with what you have been given, God will do the rest.
"For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing." (Deuteronomy 2:7)
As I ponder these words of the Lord to Moses, I can't help but think they also apply to me. As I look back at the journey through my life's wilderness, I can see how the Lord has been fully aware of my walk and blessed me that I have lacked nothing.
Fear ye not, stand still,
and see the salvation of the Lord,
which he will shew to you to day
Exodus 14:13
From this week's Come, Follow Me reading, we learn that even when the world around us is filled with darkness, our homes can be filled with light. I am grateful for Jesus Christ who is that Light.
There was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days....but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Exodus 10:22-23
