10-22-07 Deuteronomy 33:29

Deuteronomy 33:29 (NAS)
"Blessed are you, O Israel; Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, Who is the shield of your help, And the sword of your majesty! So your enemies shall cringe before you, And you shall tread upon their high places."

Deuteronomy 33:29 (NLT)
How blessed you are, O Israel! Who else is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is your protecting shield and your triumphant sword! Your enemies will bow low before you, and you will trample on their backs!"



You were never able to advance or make progress until the Lord your God blessed you and made you happy. He gives you power and helps you to contend with anything that may come against you. In this way, as you persevere, you will prevail, even as Israel prevailed over her enemies.

Now you know that when you are in the midst of a battle, if you pray and entreat the Lord's help, He will make you victorious, even as He has saved and delivered you previously. Jehovah is your defense and covering. He surrounds you like a shield and protects you like a buckler. Adonai's sword lays waste and brings to ruin your adversaries.

The Lord raises and exalts you in triumph, so that you see His majesty. Even if your enemies seem to be higher than you, the Lord your God will cause you to tread upon their high places. You will march upon those who have deceived and lied to you. You will bend your bow and release your arrows against them. Then their high places, where you meet them in battle, will become their funeral mounds.
