Deuteronomy Chapter 11 verse 12 in the Good News Bible reads as follows;
(12) The Lord your God takes care of this land and watches over it throughout the year.
As I randomly opened my Bible my eyes fell on this verse in Chapter 11 in Deuteronomy. How appropriate this is when over this past week I have heard people asking, how will we get along now that schools and businesses are opening? Will COVID-19 lay low or flare up? What should we be doing? Well first of all, we need to obey the Lord. The very first verse of chapter 11 in Deuteronomy says,(1) Love the Lord your God and always obey all His laws. When we love God we do want to obey His laws, the laws of our land and those who are in place to keep our great nation covered in protection. We must pray for our leaders, asking God to give them wisdom in every decision made. They must be willing to listen and carry out the instructions given; hence we need to pray for Christians to step into political positions and wait on the Lord for His direction.
When life circumstances and battles seem too much to bear, we must pray and keep praying and speaking the word of the Lord over every single circumstance and battle. When we stand together united in our understanding that God does take care of this land and watches over it throughout the year; then we can stand in confidence that He is committed to us and cares for us because He loves us. When we stay in His will for our lives then we will know He is providing for us, protecting us, giving us new mercy and strength at the beginning of each new day. He is a good, good Father and wants the very best for His family all over the world. As we read Deuteronomy Chapter 11 we see that Moses is reminding the Israelites that God is taking care of them, and the land, and in this we realize God’s word is still the same for us today. His word and promises never change from the beginning of time to the end of eternity, of which I doubt will ever be.
So I draw from this that God is looking after us at all times, through all times, to eternity.
On this truth I stand and I pray you will as well. Thank you Lord for watching over our land especially in this year and during these trying times. Our lives are in Your Almighty hands and we are grateful for your care, over us and our land.
You are a “God Who Takes Care”.
