1 - 29 Moses' Testamentary Blessing
This is Moses' blessing of each tribe of Israel.
26. "There is none like God . . . (27) He subdues the ancient gods, shatters the forces of old; he drove out the enemy before you and said, "Destroy!"
29. "Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, the shield of your help, and the sword of your triumph! Your enemies shall come fawind to you and you shall tread on their backs."

Last night in my church theology class we discussed God's providence; how He is involved in every minute detail of life.
These blessings show that God has given everyone a specific purpose and blessed them as long as they use it to serve Him.
