...at the place 
          which the LORD will choose,
to make His name dwell there.

                   Deuteronomy 16. 2

Even here.
Even in this.
Nothing is insignificant).

...for you are a people

But you shall seek the place
which the LORD your God will choose
out of all your tribes
to put His name 
   and make His habitation there;
thither shall you go...
and you shall rejoice,
you and your households,
    in all that you undertake.

                      Deuteronomy 12. 5, 7

(God always blesses faithfulness,
where you are
        and where He leads.
God redeems the impossible 
     with the unexplainable.
Bring the love of Jesus there.
The wilderness is not a wasteland,
    but just that which has not yet
    been planted).
But you shall seek the place

to put His name

you and your households,

"Who can stand
    before the sons of Anak?"
Know therefore this day
that He who goes over before you
as a devouring fire
is the LORD your God...

                     Deuteronomy 9. 2-3

(We all have giants in our lives
         of whom we fear.
God does not just show up.
     He goes before us.
We are not alone).

You shall not be in dread of them,
for the LORD your God
    is in the midst of you,
            a great and awesome God.
The LORD your God
will clear away 
these nations before you
               little by little;
you may not make 
       an end of them at once,
lest the wild beasts 
   grow too numerous for you.

                     Deuteronomy 7. 21-22

(Whatever I fear,
His incredible timing,
His perfect provision,
His shield
   even in what I don't understand.
Just watch to see
what only God Almighty can do.
Nothing is impossible,
   just unexplainable 
               if not for God).

Rebuke the beasts 
   that dwell among the reeds.

                   Psalm 68. 30

(Anything you fear,
      both real and imagined.
No matter how big the shadows,
       no matter how loud they growl,
the LORD is your shield.
     They cannot touch you).
