I will carry you in My arms just like a father carries his child

he NIV Bible says this verse this way... ”There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, Tas a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.” (NIV) This is one of those very clear pictures in the Old Testament of God’s Fatherheart for the nation of Israel. I find it interest- ing that from God’s perspective, He saw Himself as actually carrying each Israelite just like an earthly father would carry his son. I wonder what that would have looked like in the eyes of God? Would God have been cradling Israel in His big strong arms? Would He have been lifting The identity of Jesus Israel up over His head so that the nation could sit on top of His shoulders? Perhaps there would be many ways for God to carry Israel, depending on their am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t be stumbling situation. through the darkness, because you will have the light the leads to When they were grieving... When they were taking new territory... When “I life.” John 8:12 they were afraid... God was always there to hold them and carry them through When Jesus said this, he was speaking in the part of the Temple where each season, whether they were even aware that He was holding them or not. The truth is that no matter how difficult life gets, it is God who is carrying the offerings were put, where candles burned to symbolize the pillar of fire us through every adversity. We might not be aware of how close He is to us, but that led the people of Israel through the wilderness (Exodus 13:21-22). In that does not change the reality that He is holding us very close all the days of this context, Jesus called himself the light of the world. The pillar of fire our lives. May each one of us feel the warmth of His embrace today. represented God’s presence, protection, and guidance. Jesus brings God’s presence, protection, and guidance. Is he the light of you world.

The master was pleased with this overdue debtor who took an initiative to help his Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and master in other ways, like collecting past due accounts from other debtors, for this the whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, master considered him. The Gospel speaks today of a manager entrusted by his master to care for his if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be property. Though focus is usually given to the enterprising way the clever manager granted to them by my heavenly Father.
