Deu 33:24 And of Asher he said: “Asher is most blessed of sons; let him be favored by his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.
Deu 33:25 Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; as your days, so shall your strength be.
This was part of Moses farewell speech to the people of Israel. Moses gave a word of encouragement to each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The above promise was given to the tribe of Asher and by extension, to all people of all generations including you and me.
Asher is the Hebrew word for ” blessedness “. Usher’s location on the upper Mediterranean coast accounted for access to sea products while the surrounding hills yielded vast quantities of olive oil. To “deep his feet in oil” is figurative speech for luxurious lifestyle. Putting on sandals of “bronze and iron” denotes Asher’s strength to overcome all challenges.*
Christian friends, as your days ,so shall your strength be . What a precious promise for a trying day! That Jehovah will provide strength that will be required for each day. We will not only “dip our feet in oil”, but we will also put on the sandals of ” bronze and iron” which will give us victory day by day.
