Traveling Mercies

Read: Deuteronomy 2:1–7

He has watched over your journey . . . and you have not lacked anything. Deuteronomy 2:7

You might start your journey in the southwest United States in a dusty town called Why, Arizona. Heading cross-country would take you through Uncertain, Texas. Bearing northeast, you’d make a rest stop in Dismal, Tennessee. Ultimately, you’d reach your destination—Panic, Pennsylvania. These are real places across the landscape of America, though not likely a trip you’d ever choose to take.

Sometimes this is exactly what the journey of life feels like. We easily identify with the Israelites’ tough life in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 2:7)—life can be hard. But do we see the other parallels? We create our own itinerary, turning from God’s way (1:42–43). Like the Israelites, we often grumble about getting our needs met (Numbers 14:2). In our daily fretting, we likewise doubt God’s purposes (v. 11). The story of the Israelites is repeated over and over in our own.

God assures us that if we follow His path, He’ll deliver us into a far better place than Dismal. He’ll provide and we’ll lack nothing we really need (Deuteronomy 2:7; Philippians 4:19). Yet as much as we already know this, we often fail to do it. We need to follow God’s roadmap.

It’s a bit more of a drive, but another six hours by car would take you from the town of Panic to the place known as Assurance, West Virginia. If we let God direct our paths (Psalm 119:35), we’ll journey in joy with Him at the wheel—blessed assurance indeed! — Kenneth Petersen

What are some of the ways you’ve followed your own roadmap instead of God’s? What have you been fretting about?

Faithful God, help me rest in the assurance of Your direction.

Bible in a year: Psalms 18–19; Acts 20:17–38

[Kathy in Alaska]

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

[Spok]

Here’s a couple more: 11. Always put yourself first. 12. Be annoyed when others don’t put you first. 13. Never listen to ideas from others. (After all, aren’t you smarter than everyone else?) 14. Find something wrong with everyone’s efforts but your own. 15. When you can’t talk about yourself, complain about someone else.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

A Blessed Lord's Day and Shavua Tov to you.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmm...those sound mighty familiar these days.

Good evening, Spok, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

[Kathy in Alaska]

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Howdy, Kathy.

It’s nice to see raindrops and puddles up there today! It looks like it’s over for now but maybe there’ll be a few more drops tonight.

We hope to be so lucky tomorrow night.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Still too hot? Any souls brave the heat to come to the museum? Hope you had some good tours.

We got some RAIN! 7/10s over night, and another 3/10 since I dumped the gauge this morning. Sun keeps trying to pop out, so I guess it’s done for awhile. They say more tomorrow. I am grateful for what we did get.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.
Did you and Tippy venture out today? Nice long walk around the neighborhood?

We finally got some rain...a whole inch, for which I am grateful. And maybe more the next few days...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey, and Shavua Tov and a Blessed Lord’s Day.

Still enjoying great weather? When is your next flight?

[SkyDancer]

Good Evening Kathy! (((HUGS))) The weather has been just spiffy and there’s several flights coming up; SanFran, Vegas, Orlando (big money maker) and San Diego.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.

Thanks, unique.
