Hello, all!
Deuteronomy 32:9-12
For the LORD's portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance. He found him in a desert land and in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up, carrying them on its wings, so the LORD alone led him, and there was no foreign god with him.
God claimed, protected, taught, provided for, delighted in, strengthened, and led the Israelites--He even enabled them to fly (metaphorically speaking, of course)--all while they were in the desert, the wasteland. There was nothing else out there! Sometimes, that's where God has to get us in order to become the only one leading us. He has to get us out in a wilderness of our own, with nothing else to cling to or depend on; no distractions. Out there, He becomes our everything--the One we lean on, cry out to, delight in, and love to follow!
Father, if it takes a wilderness for You to be my everything, then I'm willing to go there! I want You to be all I see, all I long for, the only One I follow; for there to be "no foreign god" in my life!
May the Lord richly bless you with all that He is!
