GOLD MINE 1: DEUTERONOMY 33:12
THE BELOVED OF THE LORD REST SECURE IN HIM.
July 29, 1992
Harry:
God loves us, and we rest secure in Him!
As you may remember, I am going through the Bible sequentially starting with John and reading a chapter or more a day. I have already moved from John through Revelation and then started in Genesis and now I am at Deuteronomy 33.
I came across an unfamiliar verse that I would like to share with you. It presents a beautiful memorable picture. “About Benjamin he said: `Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the LORD loves rests between his shoulders.’” Deuteronomy 33:12b
What wonderful love God has for us! It is particularly meaningful to me as I hold my two-year old son, Joshua, in my lap with his chest and head resting on my chest between my shoulders. Joshua falls asleep secure, and I love him and protect him with awe and wonder.
Does God love us and protect us any less?!
