\nDeu 33:24-25<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0And of Asher he said, \u201cMost blessed of sons be Asher; let him be the favorite of his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.\u00a0Your bars shall be iron and bronze, and as your days, so shall your strength be.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The abundance of the tribe of Asher was also expressed by Jacob in\u00a0Genesis 49:20<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(he shall yield royal dainties). Here, Moses blessed Asher with an abundance of olive\u00a0oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
The tribe of Asher would be blessed with wealth so that even their\u00a0sandals<\/b>\u00a0would be made of the best, strongest, most durable materials.<\/p>\n
i.\u00a0Sandals\u00a0<\/b>of\u00a0iron and bronze<\/b>\u00a0have a spiritual sense for the believer. Spurgeon suggested several applications.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Such sandals would protect tender feet, and God protects.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Such sandals would be sturdy for travel, and God enables us to walk difficult paths.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Such sandals would be good for soldiers, and we wage war in the Spirit and crush spiritual adversaries under our feet.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Such sandals would be good for climbing mountains, and God has heights for His people to climb.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Such sandals would last a long time, needed for our long journey with the LORD. (Guzik)<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cThe saying, I have no doubt, has comforted the souls of multitudes. The meaning is obvious: \u2018Whatever thy trials or difficulties may be, I shall always give thee grace to support thee under and bring thee through them.\u2019\u201d (Clarke)<\/p>\n
We receive strength from God as we do our days \u2013 day by day, piece by piece. We receive one day at a time and receive strength for that day. We receive strength from God proportionally. A day of little service or little suffering may receive little strength; but days of greater service or greater suffering will receive greater strength. We receive strength from God in many ways. As our days differ, so does the strength God gives us, always suited to the day. We receive strength from God as long as our days continue; it is a constant provision. (Spurgeon)<\/p>\n
There is no blessing greater than The Son through whom we receive eternal life. All other blessings are gifts from God through which we are able to recognize more fully His grace, mercy, and love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
