Remembering God's Promises.
In Exodus 17 the children of Israel complained to Moses about no water.
Some said to Moses you brought us out into the desert to die of thirst.
Moses called out to God
"What shall I do?These people are ready to stone me?"
God said to Moses take your staff and the elders
and go where I send you.
So Moses took the elders and his staff out into the desert and stood before the rock in Horeb and God told Moses to strike the rock and water and once again God rescued Israel, and Moses praised the Lord and thanked God for the water as a sign that God loved his children and took care of them.
Moses named the place
"Massah & Meribah."
I have seen the rock today and it still flows with water.
We Christian's seem to take God for granted. We think that He is going to rescue us as soon as we call out to him. Had Israel
remembered that God provided manna and expressed graditute and taken the water as a sign that He loved them and they forgot how He delivered them from captivity. Moses named that place Massah and Meribah. I have seen that rock, and it's still flows water.
We Christians tend to take
God for granted. We tend to take God for granted. We think that whenever we get into trouble he is going to rescue us as soon as we call out to him. Had Israel
Remembered that God provided manna and expressed thanks,they could have trusted him and waited for the water, God would have provided water for them. Like the ancient pIseralites who complained we do the same thing. We
Want God to work on our schedule, but God has his own schedule and we must be patient and wait on the
Lord and trust God's decisions. His plan for us
Sometimes isn't instant, but slower for a reason.
Remember that God promised that he will be with you, always. Trust Him,he will bless you for your patience.
May the Lord bless you and keep you safe, always.
AMEN.
, they could have trusted Him
