Today’s Reading: Deuteronomy 1:7-18
Today’s Verse: “The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.” Deuteronomy 1:10 KJV
Gratitude is the quality of being thankful. It shows kindness. It recognizes good things in life.
It often results in a desire to say “thank you” or to return kindness.
This verse highlights God’s faithfulness. It speaks to His covenant promise to Abraham. The one to make his descendants numerous (Genesis 15:5 KJV).
It marks the transition of a new generation. One that would be massive and ready to enter the Promised Land.
Yes, wilderness challenges were faced. But Moses reminded them that God had also increased Israel.
From a small family, God increased them. He increased them to a large nation.
God’s promise to Abraham received. Now it had come to pass. They were standing on the edge of Canaan.
Moses declared God’s loyalty. Reminding them that it would last for generations to come.
To this day God continues to keep this promise. He is keeping it even when we think they seem impossible.
Not a day goes by that we do not receive divine blessings. They are not received because of human efforts. It is because we stand fast in the Word. Faith brings growth and strength. Just some of the many gifts from God.
“Behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude” (Deuteronomy 1:10 KJV). He is blessing us, so we are as numerous and bright as the stars in the sky.
Let us focus on showing gratitude for our increase. For the numerous efforts of God to bless us. For His fulfilment of the promises to bless us.
