During the wilderness journey... - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

The LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
Deuteronomy 2:7

During the wilderness journey, the people of Israel had wonderful experiences with their God. What they experienced in the wilderness is similar to what we experience in our life situations. The same care that God showed His people then, He also shows us now.

“For a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness” (Acts 13:18). God cared for His people like a mother lovingly cares for her baby. Similarly, God now surrounds us with His care. Nothing escapes Him that could trouble, oppress or discourage us.

“Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing; their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell” (Nehemiah 9:21). Israel never needed to suffer hunger, lacked clothing or had to limp. And us? God wants to daily nourish the new life in us with His Word, influence our behaviour for the better, and secure our steps on the path of faith.

“And it was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness” (Amos 2:10). Through the pillar of cloud, God led His people in the trackless desert. God wants to guide us through His Word and His Holy Spirit so that we find the right path and stay on it. It is up to us to pay attention to His Word and not resist His Spirit. With such a God, we too will reach our goal – a heavenly one!
