Trusting the God Who Leads

Numbers 36—Deut. 1; Psalm 66; Proverbs 11:24-26

 

Has God been leading you through some harrowing places? Trust Him. The circumstances may be painful, but God will take care of You through them all. Do not be like the Israelites, the first generation to escape Egypt. They experienced God’s deliverance from Egypt, His protection through the Red Sea, His provision of clean water and sustaining food in the desert, His guidance in a visible pillar by day and by night. They made it through all these painful trials by following God, but when they came to the last great difficult test of their faith, they shrank back. Do not allow what was said of them to be said of you:

 

In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go. – Deut. 1:32-33

 

Father, bring us safely through every trial. May every painful circumstance You allow us to experience, but then bring us through, strengthen our resolve to trust You in other discomforts, pains, and struggles. May we trust You forever. You are God!
