FOOD FOR THOUGHT

God delivered the Israelites from the hands of the Egyptians, killed all the 1st born sons of Egypt, sent them on their way to their promised land with gold, silver, camels (they were rich), parted the Red Sea and drowned Pharoah and his entire army. What did the Israelites do? They built a golden calf to worship, they needed an idol they could see!

Something to ponder.....
The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years before they made it to the promised land. What should have been an 11 day journey took them 40 years because they complained and were disobedient to God! How long will it take us to get to our promised land? Our God does deliver but will we be responsible for the delay?
How many times has God delivered us, protected us, saved us, and made a way out of no way? Then yet, the next time we feel ourselves in a jam/dilemma we forget about the promises of God and what he has done and look for an idol we can see and touch? Or we succumb to worry, doubt and begin to complain and speak death with our mouths? You think that you are waiting on God, what if He is waiting on you?



Be a blessing and be blessed,
