Currently I am doing a bible study called One in a Million. The bible study is about being the one person who steps out above their circumstances and their fears to allow God to work in their lives.
One major focus in the study points out that satan tries to discourage us by helping us forget how God has been faithful in our lives before.
Just like the Israelites in the wilderness, you know they were shown one miracle after another and not to mention a pillar of cloud by day to lead them and a pillar of fire by night, and they still were having trouble with amnesia.
I find myself so much like that. When the car breaks down or when I get sick or when things just are tough, where do I go first? If things are tough at work or someone has really hurt me what do I do? Do i panic, complain, move from the normal concern to all out worry? Do I go to everyone else first? Or do I stop, settle and be still before God and then make my
requests to Him. The person who can bring perfect peace.
The same God that worked on our behalf yesterday is the same God who can work on our behalf today.
Now please don’t get me wrong. I am a work in progress for sure. What I do know is that I truly believe that God wants are time on this earth to be abundant , sweet. I also know that He is good and loves me and YOU!
What is your wilderness right now. Take courage when you are in a wilderness situation, that is when God can truly do some wonderful things.
