Going through the Trials
I was wondering what happened to the people of Israel that they wanted to return to Egypt. How did they lose their faith? They became complainers and only the next generation entered the promised land but for a few.
What was their problem? You know what I think it was? They were unwiling to be tried or tested. They did not understand what the wilderness was about. They did not or did not want to go through the trial. They did not understand it was for their own improvement. And as a result they displease God and never got to the promised land.
Are you thankful for trials? Knowing or should we at least know that they are or can be to make us better? Do we thwart the perfection process when we resist the trial through complaint and murmor?
What do you think? Can we end up resisting what God wants to do in us by not receiving the test?
