I just wanted to take this portion of one of my blogs to publicly express how grateful I am for God's blessings.
He has just given me a storm of blessings this quarter and I feel...well, blessed.
I must admit, I am on an Exodus to my own little paradise. The journey is taking me quite longer than I expected it to take but I guess, I understand why.
Understanding came after listening to a Day by Day broadcast on DYVS.The focus or topic of the discussion is on the exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt.It was emphasized how the Israelites went ballistic after days out in the desert. Bro. Ed cited scholars saying that the journey out of Egypt to the PRomised land should have taken them only about a week. However, since the Israelites lost faith, turned whiny and etc., they wandered in the Desert for forty years.
I, too, am in my desert right now, hoping to reach my Promised Land. Like the Israelites, I am also longing for that land overflowing with milk and honey. However, at the first sign of trouble, I keep looking back to my Egypt.
The reason why I never really felt my life had meaning and happiness in it is because I kept looking behind for my Egypt. Like the Israelites who wanted to turn back to Egypt after going through uncomfortable times, I also kept loosing faith and hope that God would see me through the tough times in life.
God never lets us down and we should trust Him to see us through trials and tribulations. We should also be grateful for the blessings He continually showers us with. And most of all, I learned that I should never whine.
God is good. All the time.
