Deuteronomy 8: No Swollen Feet

The details of the Bible can make us stop dead in our tracks sometimes (if we are being good readers!). I do not know all of the things that can cause our feet to swell, but walking for forty years in a wilderness is surely one of them. God was so good to this nation that He did not let their clothes wear out (v. 4; 29:5), their shoes did not get old (29:5), and their feet did not even swell up (v. 4). They could not look anywhere without seeing proof of God’s providing care—from His voice on the holy mount to their own healthy feet.
