Moses said that those 40 years in the wilderness were used
by God to take away the pride that
might cause Israel to stray from Him.
They had no idea what was really in their hearts and what was therefore
capable of destroying their relationship with Him, but God did.
He took away their pride by letting them get hungry, showing them that, in the wilderness, they
couldn’t even take care of their basic
needs. Then He not only fed them all
with manna, but used it to show them how important it is that we all look to
Him daily not just from bread, but for spiritual food to maintain our
relationship with Him.
Respecting God
bore repeating, and He warned them that once they inhabited the land and began
to enjoy having not just the necessities of life, but everything they needed,
they’d begin to believe it was their own
power and strength that had provided it.
God even put a reminder in here for us today: “It is He
who gives you the power to become rich.” Without our health, opportunities He
presents, and even our circumstances He controls, we’d be unable to prosper in
our own power.
As we acquire possessions, He warns us that we will be
tempted to forget Him, and that is the sign of an ungrateful heart, and we are
told to thank God in all circumstances.
Father, yesterday was a very tough day, working with my son's ungrateful heart. I need You to be God
over him and over the process to come.
Please give me my son back.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
