At the Lord's command, the people of Israel left the Sin Desert and moved from place to place. Eventually, they came to Rephidim, but there was no water to be found there. So once more the people grumbled and complained to Moses. "Give us water to drink!" they demanded. Exodus 17:1-2b (NLT)
Many of us run from the difficult places of life. We even pray not to meet the difficult place. While it is good to pray to be delivered from the hard place, it is also true that we will not be saved from all the hard places of life. We will meet tough times as part of the trials and tribulations we must face in life. That you love God, obey God, and serve God so well does not mean you will not face problems. A friend recently told me of another friend who complained that he/she kept her part of the bargain by being faithful to God. Yet, despite that he/she is still afflicted with sicknesses, delays, setbacks, limitations, and other difficulties of life. He/she considered God to be unfair and unjust. The people of Israel were not left out.
They came to the Sin Desert at the express command of God. Yet when they came there, there was no water. They reacted by complaining to God. Are you facing a hardship in your life now? I urge you not to complain against God and the goodness of life. That difficult place will not last forever. It is temporary. You can pass through that difficult place. A miracle is coming to you in that difficult place. God provided water for the people in that desert. God provided water for Hagar to revive Ishmail. There are countless people in the bible who faced difficult times. David and his soldiers lost all at Ziglag, but he encouraged himself in the Lord. God empowered him to pursue, overtake, and recover all. Your time of recovery has come. Who says you cannot rise up again? Which foundation is speaking against you? Who says you cannot get married? Who says you cannot get pregnant? Don't listen to discouraging voices from enemies of fruitfulness, God is alive. cheer up! step into the new month with praises, adoration and true worship of the Almighty God, the hand of God will lead to your victory, and you shall testify in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I am praying for you. Stay well🎤[Oghale Elebe JP]🙏
