Our Really Long Road Trip

 

For the LORD your God

has blessed you

in all the work of your hands.

He knows your going through

   this great wilderness.

These forty years

   the LORD your God

   has been with you.

You have lacked nothing.

               Deuteronomy 2. 7

(Stay tuned. 

        We have seen nothing yet.

God does not just know what

   we are going through.

He is preparing, equipping,

  and nurturing His strength in us,

blessing our work,

and weaving His significance

  in what only appears as mundane.

He is with us

         through thick and thin,

    in what we recognize as profound,

    in our every days,

and in what we don't yet understand.

Trust Me in this.)

O LORD,

Thank You for Your goodness to us,

even in what we don't recognize yet.

You are walking with us,

   strengthening us every step.

For as long as we can remember,

     You have provided

     just what we need,

even in ways we can't understand.

We see a wilderness here.

    You see the wonders.

You are doing such a mighty work

    in us, through us, all around us,

that we don't even have a clue,

the evidence of Your Presence

  that reverberates for generations.
