PreachSample

The Israelites spent 40 years making an 11-day trip! It wasn’t their faith that sent plagues to Egypt. It wasn’t their faith that parted the Red Sea. It wasn’t their faith that brought a cloud by day and fire by night. It wasn’t their faith that made manna fall from the heavens. For these people, it seems that nearly every circumstance of their lives was being radically carried out in real time by God delivering them from slavery and oppression, meeting their needs, and ultimately bringing them into their promised land. I think the reason they spent so much time wandering around the dessert is because they were not yet convinced of God’s goodness.
Bill Johnson says, “In every circumstance, our first response should be to cry our to the Lord; whether in victory or crisis, cry out to the Lord. If you make history with God, He’ll make history through you”.
This one simple quote is one that I heard years ago, and I’ve remembered it throughout so many mountains and valleys in my own life. It’s easy to praise God and thank him in the great moments of abundance, but when tragedy creeps in, our tune can change quickly from praise and gratitude to bargaining and complaining. It's easy to get caught up in the moments of fear, doubt, or excitement; however, our feelings and emotions are wavering, temporary, and can change like the seasons. Today, make sure that you are making it your first priority to cry out to God in every situation and that you’re praying for his will to be done no matter what may be the outcome.
