In Deuteronomy 31:11, God’s care for His people had been illustrated by how an eagle nurtured its young. Moses took it further in verse 12 by showing that it was God who had led them out of their bondage and sustained and provided for them. They were led out of Egypt, not by any foreign gods. They were led out of their predicament by the Sovereign LORD, their covenant LORD Himself. Furthermore, it was He who had accompanied and guided them throughout their journey. God alone did it.
In Deuteronomy 32:13-14, Moses wanted them to know that the victory they
experienced, the land they conquered, the ample provision of food they partook,
and the rich experiences they had in the promised land were all given to them
by God. His faithfulness was in full display in how He dealt and provided for
them. He was the source of their life.
Like
the people of Israel, how can our lives be poor when we have our Lord? We will
never lose with Him. As Don Moen’s song titled “Like a shepherd” so eloquently
proclaimed.
Like a father feeds his children, like
a shepherd leads his flock,
The Lord will always guide us and show
us where to walk.
And in times when we have plenty, in
times when we have not,
He is our provider, and His mercy never
stops.
Like a Shepherd, He leads us, like a
Father He feeds us,
From the morning to the evening till
the sunrise again.
Like a Shepherd, He leads us, like a
Father He feeds us,
He is the Great I Am.
As we come into His presence, confessing Him as
Lord,
His Holy Spirit guides us and feeds us by His Word.
We’re seated at His table, partaking of His love.
Children of His Kingdom, purchased by His blood!
