Accepting God for who He is!

“Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.” Hebrews 3:9

Doesn’t it seem a little strange that God would miraculously rescue His chosen people and then let them wander in the desert for forty years?

The reality of this situation was God choosing to test His people to see if they would have faith in Him regardless of the circumstances of their journey which seemed like they were living in an endless maze with no security or earthly provisions.

Is this the same God who performed mighty signs and wonders in Egypt and destroyed Pharaoh and his advancing army?

The Israelites went from slaves to immigrants waiting for the hand of God to deliver them.

What happened is the Israelites challenged the authority of God and fell into unbelief. They became so disenchanted with God that they turned to worship other gods. And, their worst sin which happened over and over is they did not listen to or obey the voice of God.

The Israelites even turned away from God after He transformed them into a powerful nation living in the Promised Land.

Where does this leave you and I?

At some point in time you will have to face this same God. You will have to make a choice to walk by faith trusting not in what you see but in the powerful promises of God or slip into unbelief and go astray of God.

If you choose to fall into unbelief you will incur the wrath of God and be unable to enter into His rest.

Accept God for who He is! Jesus is the Creator of the universe and has power and dominion over the heavens and the earth. Your destiny is in His hands!
