Title: Iron Shoes
Author: Elisabeth Elliot
When some out-of-the ordinary supply is needed in order for us to accomplish the job given, we can be confident it will be provided. "Shoes of iron" were asked in Moses' blessing for Asher, an impossibly long-lasting provision from God. The old spiritual says, "l got shoes, you got shoes, all God's children got shoes," but not all God's children have iron ones; only those who need them. Our heavenly Father knows exactly what we will require to fulfill his purposes for us. It is wrong--it is, in fact, a sin--for us to worry about where the "shoes" will come from. "Trust me!" God says to us. "I'll give you iron ones if only iron ones can do the job." I worried this morning about the seeming impossibility of doing everything that needs to be done before Wednesday when we are moving to a new house. Then I remembered that strength according to my day's need is promised in the same verse (Dt 33:25), and any special need--"iron shoes" or whatever--will also be forthcoming.
