The rough times come and good times also come. "It was the worst of times and it was the best of times." That's where I'm at. Where you know that there has to be more to all the stress, there has to be something better behind the bad news. As I asked God for His direction to show me where I belong, He reminded me of the Israelites in the desert. If your familiar with the story of Moses, you'll know that God manifested His glory multiple times. He open the red sea, He fed them sending them manna from heaven, He gave them water to calm their thirst among other miracles. Yet, it didn't take them long to forget about their Lord and doubt.
“If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? ... Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” -Numbers 14-
“If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? ... Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” -Numbers 14-
My conclusion: If I give up on God and if I doubt His mighty power, am I not doing exactly what the Israelites did. Am I not becoming the most ungraceful person alive? The answer is as follows:
If God is with me, who can be against me? No one. So today, I decided that I will not doubt the power of God for He is with me.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
