DEUTERONOMY 29:2-31:29
Deuteronomy 29:2 Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them, “You have seen with your own eyes everything the Lord did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to his whole country— 3 all the great tests of strength, the miraculous signs, and the amazing wonders. 4 But to this day the Lord has not given you minds that understand, nor eyes that see, nor ears that hear! 5 For forty years I led you through the wilderness, yet your clothes and sandals did not wear out. 6 You ate no bread and drank no wine or other alcoholic drink, but he provided for you so you would know that he is the Lord your God.
God is always at work around us but to be able to see, hear and understand that it is Him is by His will. Look how Pharaoh was blinded to the hand of God until the time was right. We have amazing things happening around us all the time where God protects people, provides what is needed, heals the sick but not everyone sees God in it. I see God all over the place. I would wonder how the Israelites could have spent 40 yrs in the wilderness and their clothes and sandals not wear out and them not be able to recognize that God was taking care of them. But these verses make sense of that now. When God does open your eyes, ears and or mind to His presence and activity in your life He is showing you that He is the Lord your God. Worship Him. Praise Him. Trust in Him. Give Him all the glory. And don't be discouraged if others don't see it. When the time is right they will.
2 Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them:
Your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials and to all his land. 3 With your own eyes you saw those great trials, those signs and great wonders. 4 But to this day the Lord has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear. 5 Yet the Lordsays, “During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.6 You ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink. I did this so that you might know that I am the Lord your God.”
