When the way is foggy 

Sometimes the “foggy road” is the most frightening because we just don’t know what’s there. 

In my case this morning, it was just a pretty view as I spent time with God before a fun day of camp, but sometimes the foggy confusion can be scary. 

Deuteronomy 3:1-2 says, “Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.”

“as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites”

They could trust God for what was coming because of what God had already done for them. 

Past victories should embolden us for future battles, especially when we remember Who gave us those victories. 

And that’s exactly what Moses wanted for Joshua after the first victories before crossing into the Promised Land: “And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. 22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.” (Deuteronomy 3:21-22)

Today’s Bible reading is Deuteronomy 3.
