95 - "Your Strength Is Equal to Your Day" Deuteronomy 32-34; Luke 8:26-56

                                                                        

Oh my! God's Word Deeply Touches this heart of mine.  This day.  These events.  Your strength is equal to your day. This event. Why have I never seen that verse before---Deut 33:25.  These are the words of Moses, a song that sinks deep in our storied lives. “Take this Book of the Law and put it by the side of the ark "Let my teaching drop quenching this thirst of my needy heart."  Deut 32:2.  

O! Moses, the 21st Century hears your words:
Your teaching drops as the rain,
distilled as the dew,
like gentle rain.
Dt 32:2

So! Take to heart these last words of Moses:
Tell them to your children so,
they may do the Word.
It's your very life.
Dt 32:47

With eyes undimmed and vigor unabated:
Moses blesses those he leaves,
Remember this every day:
There is none like God
Dt 33:26

He rides through the heavens to your help
Through the skies in His Majesty.
The Eternal God is your
Dwelling Place.
Dt 33:26

Three Verses from the mouth of Moses
that have carried me through.
His words have been 
Life to me. 

Scores and scores of years and years later.  And these words of Moses fall like rain on me this day.  It's been a tough week.  It's not over.  I've struggled more than usual.  No answers.  Trust in this darkness.  

The Day of all the Year has come. He is Risen. 
So, Keep On Grasping for the hem of His Garment.
So, Keep On Believing. Luke 8:50-51
