Check Your Shoes!

 

Yet the LORD says, “During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.”

Deuteronomy 29:5, NIV

Check Your Shoes

Stuck in the wilderness for forty years because of their disobedience, the Israelites complained over and over that nothing good was happening and they hadn’t seen the miracle of entering into the abundance of the Promised Land. Yet their clothes and sandals never wore out. There were no grocery stores, yet they never missed a meal. They weren’t trained in warfare, yet they defeated armies. They didn’t realize they were in the middle of a miracle. God was sustaining them, protecting them, not letting enemies defeat them. Perhaps you’ve been praying and believing, but your child hasn’t turned around, your business hasn’t taken off, you’re still taking the treatment. God hasn’t delivered you from it, but He is taking you through a desert season, sustaining you right now, holding back what should defeat you. You thought you’d have your answer by now, but have you noticed that your shoes haven’t worn out, that there’s been provision, that there’s been protection? There’s a miracle taking place, but you can’t always see it. Trust His timing, trust His ways. It’s on the way.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You for the miracles You have put in my heart that haven’t happened yet. Thank You that I can keep trusting Your timing and Your ways and not be distracted by what I don’t see. I’m going to keep praising, keep thanking, and I know that what I’m believing for is on the way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
