Deuteronomy 33
“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and
He addeth NO SORROW with it." Prov. 10:22.
Yea, He loved [loves] the people; all
His saints are in Thy hand: and they.. SAT DOWN at Thy feet; every one shall receive of
Thy words. (Verse 3.)
The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in SAFETY
by Him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between His shoulders. (Verse 12.)
Him that was SEPARATED from his brethren. (Verse 16.)
There they shall offer SACRIFICES of righteousness. (Verse 19.)
O Naphtali, SATISFIED with favor, and full with the blessing of the Lord, possess thou... (Verse 23.)
As thy days, so shall thy STRENGTH be. (Verse 25.)
Happy art thou... who is like unto thee, O people SAVED by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency.
(Verse 29.)
"There is none like unto the God of
Jeshurun, who rideth upon, the heavens to
thy help, and in His majesty, upon the
cloud. The ETERNAL GOD is thy refuge
[dwelling-place], and underneath are the
everlasting arms.”
(Verse 26 JND; verse 27.)
It is a great thing to know what the "blessing" is
(1 Peter 2:99But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: (1 Peter 2:9)), and to see that we get it for ourselves in its fullness, not seeming "to come short of it" (Heb. 4:11Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. (Hebrews 4:1)), or missing it (Heb. 12:1717For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. (Hebrews 12:17)). The wonderful things revealed in this chapter have not yet been secured by those to whom such words were particularly addressed, and that through failure on their part, but a soon-coming day will see the fulfillment of all such promises.
But we, in our day of enlightenment when the Spirit of God is working on every hand, may prove the deeper reality of this blessing in its spiritual and far more wonderful aspect. Let us see to it that we miss nothing of it, for we may have it all IN CHRIST. (2 Cor. 1:2020For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. (2 Corinthians 1:20).)
