“Rejoice
always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s
will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians
5:16-18 NIV)
The
Israelites escaped captivity in Egypt only to face the challenges of the
desert. One of the biggest challenges for such a large group of nomads was
enough food to eat. Over and over again God provided supernaturally for His
people. If God could provide for many thousands of Israelites in the middle of
a desert, He can surely provide for you and your family’s needs. One of the
precious testimonies of Scripture is, “I have been young, and now am old, yet I
have not seen the righteous forsaken or His children begging for bread” (Psalm
37:25).
But
even with God’s supernatural provision, the Israelites still complained and
grumbled in the desert. They longed for the food they left behind in Egypt. God
was literally providing bread from heaven -- enough for each day -- but they
wanted His provision a different way. They wanted it their own way.
Ask
God to provide for you in whatever way He deems fit. Don’t grumble against
God’s supernatural, unexpected ways.
