don't ya'll love how i blitz blog? it's like there's nothing...nothing...nothing for a few days/a week/10 days....then BAM.BAM.BAM. three (or 4!) in a row. not sure what's up with that. maybe some days my mind and heart (and schedule!) are more open and available than others.
i read some neat verses in deuteronomy today and yesterday -- wanted to share them (and i am happy to report that i have finally made it through deuteronomy!!! joshua, here i come!) these verses are all from the next to the last chapter where moses is blessing the tribes of israel -- these are the blessings that i especially "like" or that i want for me/my family! (blue is from the message version)
about levi he said...
bless all his skills, o lord, and be pleased with the work of his hands
God bless his commitment, stamp your seal of approval on what he does
about bejamin he said (this one is my favorite!)...
let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for He shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rest between His shoulders.
God's beloved; God's permanent residence. Encircled by God all day long, within whom God is at home.
about naphtali he said...
naphtali is abounding with the favor of the Lord and is full of His blessing
Naphtali brims with blessings, spills over with God's blessings
incredible verses 33: 26-27 (these are "crave favs"): there is no one like the God of Jeshurn, who rides on the heavens tohelp you and on the clouds in his majesty. the Eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive our your enemy before you, saying "destroy him!"
