| 0:00.0 | During the 40 years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet. |
| 0:09.0 | Deuteronomy 29, verse 5. |
| 0:13.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. God in the details was written by Karen Huang and read by Joyce Dinkins. |

| 0:33.7 | Because of your great compassion, you did not abandon them in the wilderness. |
| 0:41.5 | By day, the pillar of cloud did not fail to guide them on their path, nor the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take. You gave your good spirit to instruct them. |

| 2:04.6 | Scripture tells us of God's love as seen in two seemingly small details of the Israelites' life in the wilderness, |
| 2:12.6 | their clothes and shoes. We're told in Deuteronomy Chapter 29 that throughout 40 years of walking, |
| 2:22.2 | their clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on their feet. In fact, their feet didn't even |
| 2:30.7 | swell. God's people had been unfaithful, but he showed great compassion, not abandoning them. They lacked nothing. God provided the big things, such as his presence, the counsel of his spirit, and food and water, and the smaller but necessary |
