I started the "read the Bible in 90 Days" program last week. It's been pretty interesting. My most recent find is.. no matter how much you think your kids whine and complain.. they don't have SQUAT on the Israelites Moses lead out of Egypt! OMG! God did so much for them and all they could do was wail and complain, why did you free us only to bring us into this wilderness to die! I'm tired of eating manna, I'm thirsty! Really?! They are worse than my kids were on a 6 hour road trip to Houston. But when you think about it, we can get that way sometimes. God will get us out of one predicament only for us to forget what he's delivered us from and find something else to whine about. So open your eyes and look around... like really look. You see that TV over there... you see that roof overhead.. that food in your fridge.. Yea God did that. God gave my husband the job he has at the EXACT moment he needed it. He provided a job where I could stay home with our kids. Sometimes we forget he's the great provider that he is.
Yes, we do forget that He's the great provider He is. I'm not so different from the Israelites after all, and that's not good.
