Lessons from Israel

When God makes a promise, He’ll come through.

When I complain, timing may be pushed back.
When I’m disobedient, timing may be pushed back.
When I’m prideful, timing may be pushed back.
I don’t want my promise to come in 40 years when it could have taken a week.

God didn’t give Israel ten tons of Manna as they walked out into the wilderness, so why should I think that I will have everything I need before I need it?
“Give us today our daily bread.”
God wants me to step out and rely on Him alone.

I want to learn my lessons the first time around.
I don’t want my pride in victory to cause me to have to learn humility over and over and over and over again.

God calls us to be a peculiar people–a people who calls everyone else to join instead of boasting in their accomplishments.
Our accomplishments would not be made possible without the hand of God on our lives.
