God is good. His love for us, His people, is overwhelming,
and His mercy is everlasting (Ps 100:5). His promise to us is that
where we left to follow Him is incomparable to where He is taking
us; and whatever we abandoned to serve Him cannot match what we will
gain if we continue to serve Him faithfully. He is taking us to a
very good place.
The people of Israel were in the wilderness when Moses the servant
of the Lord brought them this message. They had left Egypt where
they were under bondage; however, they were still far from the
Promised Land. In the wilderness, they faced lots of harsh conditions.
They journeyed for uncountable miles on bare foot, sometimes
having no water or food. They faced hazards from bad weather,
wild beasts and enemy nations. At some other times they were
in confusion and despair. It seemed their sufferings were unending,
and some of them were tempted to look back to Egypt. Then did
Moses speak to reassure them that the land were the Lord was
taking them was a goodly land; a land God Himself cares for and
watches all the year.
God is reassuring you as His child that He cares for you. You
have not made a mistake by forsaking the world to follow Him.
Whatever you are going through now is temporary. God’s
promises will be fulfilled in your life. He said, “For
I know the plans I have for you … plans for welfare and
not for evil, to give you a future and a hope”- Jer
29:11. His word says, “Oh, taste and see that the LORD
is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”- Ps
34:8. As you put your trust in Him and seek His face, you will
see God do wonders in your life (Lam 3:25). God has never failed
any man. He will not fail you.
