They spoke against God; they said, “Can God really spread a table in the wilderness?" Psalm 78:19 NIV
The people of Israel continued to sin against God. They willfully put Him to the test. They doubted. They did not put their trust in Him. "Can God really spread a table in the wilderness?" they asked.
Of course, He can!
God can provide anything He wants for anyone that He desires. But, it is up to us to accept His provisions. Often, we do not. We would much rather depend on ourselves, than on God or anyone else. We would rather do it our way and have it our way than in the way that God thinks best for us.
Sometimes, the only way that we are capable of gratefully receiving God's provisions is when we are in the wilderness, totally lost and alone.
The journey through the wilderness can be a very good thing. It will help us to remember who is God and to trust in Him, alone.
God's Peace - Pr. J
