- Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. Yet the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. Deuteronomy 10:14-15 – All things in heaven and earth belong to God, yet He chose you to set his heart of love on. That was the message the people Moses was speaking to needed reminded of. Possibly today that’s something we need reminded of for ourselves too. See Jesus didn’t die on the cross and rise again so the stars in the heaven could have salvation or for the mighty mountains to have life. Jesus did all that for you and me and the people of the world. So that He could have a relationship with us where His love is constant and overflowing in our story. Today know in your walk with God He chose you above all other things in creation to set His heart of love on. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1305
- Deuteronomy 10 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons, and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven. Deuteronomy 10:22 – Sometimes it’s hard to see how God is blessing you. Life seems to be taking more than its giving and the joys that once were ever present are hard to find. In tough seasons like this, it’s helpful to lift our eyes and look back. For Israel, when they entered into Egypt during the massive drought when Joseph was a leader in Egypt, their crew was small. God though had promised a nation would come from them. Now, many years later, anyone in Israel could have looked up and seen that promise fulfilled. Sometimes evidence of God’s blessing isn’t actually as hard to find…we may just have to look up and look back. What has God saved you from? What was your life like 10 years ago? 20 years ago? What struggle do you no longer battle daily because of His help? What’s something you can hold today that was only a prayer request at one time in your life? Yes, the season you are in today may be heavy and I’m not dismissing the reality of that for sure. Let’s just not dismiss the reality of God’s blessing either. Both the struggle and the blessing are real, know God is in them both. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2435
