A Way In The WildernessBài mẫu

A Lesson In Humility God miraculously brought the children of Israel out of Egypt. Yet for some reason the parting of the Red Sea was not enough to convince them of God’s protection and provision. Just three days into the journey to the Promised Land, the children of Israel started complaining to Moses because the water at Marah was bitter and undrinkable. From then on, the people of Israel continued to complain and disobey Moses. Because of that, the forty-day journey to the Promised Land took them forty years! God had called Israel in complete obedience and humility. It was only through the testing in the wilderness that they came to a place of total surrender. There was nothing else or no one else they could depend on. Sometimes God tests us, not because He needs to know the condition of our hearts, but because we do. Your heart is the very seat of your being. The content and condition of your heart affects all the decisions you make and the life that you ultimately live. God wants you to depend on Him for all things - from your daily provision to your future endeavors. Obedience and humility will lead you to the will of God. So learn to take small steps each day to let go of control and surrender your life in total dependence on Him today. * Reflect on a situation that God used to teach you humility? What did you learn from it? * During trials, do you find yourself quick to complain or more trusting of God?
