One set of footprints

Deuteronomy 1:29-33

"'Then I said to you, 'Do not be shocked, nor fear them. 'The LORD your God who goes before you will Himself fight on your behalf, just as He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness where you saw how the LORD your God carried you, just as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have walked until you came to this place.' 'But for all this, you did not trust the LORD your God, who goes before you on your way, to seek out a place for you to encamp, in fire by night and cloud by day, to show you the way in which you should go."

Dear God, please show me the way in which I should go. And please let me realize more fully that you have sent Jesus to take my place on that cross. You have fought on my behalf. Please open my eyes to recognize your working in my life, and please let me trust you more. Please make me let you carry me and my burdens. Thank you. Amen.

Doesn't the famous "Footprints" poem make reference to there being one set of footprints when Jesus carried the person? ... I think so.

"Preach the gospel to yourself everyday." I don't know who authors this quote...it is a good one though.

Dear God, please remind me of the saving message of the gospel every day.

Thank you. ~~
