But they tested the Most High God and defied him, and did not keep his commandments, for they had no faith in God, nor did they put their trust in his saving power. Psalm 78

How many of us are modern day Israelites? No matter how much God does for us, it is never enough; we test him at every turn, we rebel when he does not answer our prayers the way we expect him too, we trust in man, rather than trust in him, we continue to sin against him. My brothers and sisters in Christ, God’s spirit will not always strive with us. God has been sustaining us, he has satisfied our needs in parched places, he has delivered us from those who were too strong for us, he has healed us of our infirmities, he has fed us with spiritual food, he has provided food for our bodies, clothes on our backs, and roofs over our heads, but, just like the children of Israel, we cannot stop our cravings, we never seem to have enough, we continue to sin and rebel against God despite all that he has done, we have no faith in his wonderful works. Many of us are going to be like Moses, so close to the promised land and yet so far. Will you allow disobedience to God to cause you to lose out on his promised blessings?
