Trust God

We can get all full of self pity over someones lack of kindness to us. We can focus on negative things and not thank God for our many blessings. The LORD has been good to us. We should be thankful and loving towards Him and others. God had enough of his complaining people as they journeyed from Egypt to their promised land. A whole generation was to die in the wilderness because they complained and did not believe and obey God. Only Caleb and Joshua would enter the promised land with the children of an unbelieving generation.


Deu 1:27  You murmured in your tents, 'The LORD hates us. He brought us out of the land of Egypt in order to deliver us to the Amorites so he could destroy us. 

Deu 1:28  Where can we go? Our brothers discouraged us when they said that the people are bigger and taller than we are. Their cities are tall and fortified to the sky, and we also saw the Anakim there.' 

Deu 1:29  "Then I told you, 'Don't be terrified or afraid of them. 

Deu 1:30  The LORD your God is the One who will be going ahead of you. He'll fight for you just as he did in Egypt before your eyes. 

Deu 1:31  In the desert you saw that the LORD carried you like a man carries his son, on every road you traveled until you reached this place.' 

Deu 1:32  But despite this, you didn't trust in the LORD your God, 


Thank God that he gives us another chance. Come to Jesus who God has provided to us to receive forgiveness and eternal life, Confess your sins and follow him by faith. Our life is one of faith. Have faith in God who knows tomorrow and who loves you more than you love yourself.
