Contemplative Bible Reading

Deuteronomy 2:25 (New Living Translation)

Beginning today I will make people throughout the earth terrified because of you. When they hear reports about you, they will tremble with dread and fear.

This is the LORD speaking to His people as they are about to enter the land He promised them. Those who study warfare and such explain the psychological affects that factor into war. Being afraid is not a good thing as a battle begins.

The LORD prepared the way for His people by making their enemies tremble with dread and fear.

I am thankful that my nation, or whatever we call these inventions of man, is not about to enter conflict with a group that is undeniably aligned with God. I am thankful that I live under grace in this current age.

To this day, however, there are those groups of people on earth who are dead set against the gospel of Jesus Christ. They literally kill those who bring the gospel. I pray that God still causes them to tremble with dread and fear.
