Contemplative Bible Reading

Deuteronomy 2:25 (New Living Translation)

25 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.

God is speaking to the people through Moses. God made the peoples who were in the way of God’s people terrified. Those poor folks will tremble with dread and fear.

Note, God can put thoughts in the minds of people.

“These aren’t the droids you are looking for,” is a famous line from a famous movie. A person put that thought into the minds of other persons. Viola’. A miracle.

That was just a movie. Moses is relaying real life that seems like a fairy tale, but it isn’t. In the ensuing years, people had the numbers and the defensive positions and all the physical advantages. Yet, they trembled with dread and fear and ran like they were full of dread and fear.

God put those thoughts in the minds of people.

Please God, help that other person to see a better way. Put thoughts of a righteous life in their minds. And please God, put those thoughts in my mind everyday as well.
