He Carries You

Today’s Through the Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 1:1-3:11

Abbreviated Reading: Deuteronomy 1

“…In the wilderness where you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.” Deuteronomy 1:31

Its in the wilderness that we see how the Lord carries us. Isaiah 40:11 says that He carries us like a lamb in His arms. His arms are strong (Ps 89:13) and He doesn’t grow tired like we do.

He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. The LORD is your keeper… Psalm 121:3, 5

I love the way Deuteronomy 1:31 ends… "God carried you ALL the WAY to this place." He doesn't drop us along the way and always completes the journey, getting us to the place He intends.

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

What a comforting reality: Jesus carries us (Isa 40:11); He bore our iniquities and carries our sins (Isa 53:5); He shoulders our burdens (Matt 11:29; Ps 68:19) and carries our cares (Ps 55:22; 1 Pt 5:7); He steadies us along the way (Ps 55:22) and brings us to the place He intended all along (Jude 1:24).
