173 God is Big (Deut 20)

I had an incredible sleep last night.
I didn't go to bed super early. It was after 10.
But I zonked out pretty much straight away.
Can't remember a thing except for a mysterious noise around 2.
Possibly a toad under the bed.
And then my alarm at 6:25.
Why 6:25?
I'm not really sure.
6:15 is a tad early.
6:30 a bit late.
And I just plain don't like 6:20 for no particular reason.

Deuteronomy 20
The Israelites are nearly there.
So nearly.
They've made the journey.
Twice.
They checked out the land.
They know there are obstacles.
Big obstacles.
Probably called Bubba and Tiny.
They've had the low down on how to behave. Multiple times.
Now it's time.
Really.
It's time.
The big guys are still there.
There are a lot of them.
God's assurance here is simple.
I'm bigger.
I was bigger before, but you missed it.
I'm bigger now, and you'll need Me.
You can't and won't do it by yourself.
Don't go by what you see.
My promises are true and unbreakable.
I will be with you and you don't need to fear or panic or be filled with dread.
Oh and don't cut down any trees.
We'll need them later.
