Many times I think about the children of Israel wandering through the desert. We think of how they were delivered and how God gave then visual signs of His presence. We think "how silly where they to keep doubting." I don't know about you but I find myself many times doing the very same thing. Wishing I was back in "Egypt" where I "thought" I was happy.
God just looks on shaking His head and thinking, she wants the crumbs when I have the promised land. A land flowing with milk and honey. He has our promised land. Do we dare to venture far enough to reach it, to grasp what He had for us? Will we last the trying and the testing that it takes to reach this land? Or will we give up or settle for what we thought would make us happy or not be willing to go through what it takes to get there? Jeremiah 29:11, God has promised good things. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to claim this promise and hold onto that when the storms come. I definitely don't always feel this confident but I'm working on that. Because I don't want to quit or settle. I want to finish and to take hold of my promise land.
