Our senior pastor was back this Sunday, August 13 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, preaching in our Deuteronomy sermon series. He focused on Deuteronomy 33:23.
O Naphtali, sated with favor, and full of the blessing of the Lord...
Naphtali's blessing is a statement of their condition and position: They're abounding, sated, and satisfied with the favor, welcome, and goodwill of the Lord. Everything in life must center on Jesus if we want to have satisfaction. And why is satisfaction found only in Jesus? Because God is fully satisfied with Jesus: God's wrath is satisfied in Jesus' death.
