This is Namma for Christ with the
one hundred ninety-sixth inspirational message dated Saturday, July 31st, 2021.
The title of this message is “Good, Good Father – God Carries Us – Deut.
1:30-31”.
The
first three words of the title are also the name of the below inspirational
song/video, “Good, Good Father” (with lyrics) as sung by Chris Tomlin.
The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the Old
Testament book of Deuteronomy - the thirtieth and the thirty-first verses of
the first chapter:
Deuteronomy
1:30-31
New
King James Version (NKJV)
30 The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will
fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, 31 and in the wilderness
where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries
his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.
For many years, I have enjoyed reading the daily inspirational messages as
provided by Our Daily Bread Ministries in their publications of "OUR DAILY
BREAD".
I recently read the message
for the day (for July 24th, 2021) and found it to be so inspiring, memorable and
“thought-provoking”.
I wanted to share this message with you (see the below message). Our

God Carries
Us
31 There you saw how the Lord your God
carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you
reached this place.
Deuteronomy
1:31
Today's Scripture & Insight:
Deut. 1:26-31
In 2019, Hurricane
Dorian overwhelmed the islands of the Bahamas with intense rain, wind, and
flooding—the worst natural disaster in the country’s history. As he
sheltered at home with his adult son who has cerebral palsy, Brent knew
they needed to leave. Even though Brent is blind, he had to save his son.
Tenderly, he placed him over his shoulders and stepped into chin-deep water to
carry him to safety.
If an earthly father facing a great obstacle is eager to help
his son, think of how much more our heavenly Father is concerned about His
children. In the Old Testament, Moses recalled how God carried His people even
as they experienced the danger of faltering faith. He reminded the
Israelites of how God had delivered them, providing food and water in the
desert, fighting against their enemies, and guiding the Israelites with pillars
of cloud and fire. Meditating on the many ways God acted on their behalf, Moses
said, “There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father
carries his son” (Deuteronomy 1:31).
The Israelites’ journey through the wilderness wasn’t easy, and
their faith waned at times. But it was full of evidence of God’s protection and
provision. The image of a father carrying a son—tenderly, courageously,
confidently—is a wonderful picture of how God cared for Israel. Even when we
face challenges that test our faith, we can remember that God’s there carrying
us through them.
Loving
God, help me remember that You carry me, even when I don’t feel it. Thank You
for Your strength and compassion.
Please
see the below verse from Ephesians 1:5 regarding how GOD – our Heavenly Father chose
us to be in His family –
Ephesians
1:5
New
Living Translation (NLT)
5 God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by
bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and
it gave Him great pleasure.
