As Mary and I have studied Exodus, we noticed that the children of Israel died in the wilderness! They saw the judgment that God brought against Egypt to free them from their bondage. They saw the miracles that God did in caring for them in the wilderness. Yet, they all died there with God angry at them. How do we know this? Hebrews 3:10 says; "THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS'; This brought the fear of God into our minds and hearts. Why? Because if they believed on the Passover lamb to save them from Egypt and we believe on Jesus Christ as our Passover lamb can we suffer the same fate as they did? It appears that even though they saw God's provisions and were given His laws they chose not to study them to get to know the God of the Universe. WOW! We had better pay attention to the lessons contained in the Bible. Abram did the opposite. He obeyed God. Faith is a gift God gives us. But we must act on His word. Isn't this what the Children of Israel faced as well? Faith is obedience to God's word. That is why we are studying and applying it. If it weren't for His work in our lives, an eternal home is nonexistent! But we have hope in Jesus Christ We want to live a praiseworthy life to God. We please Him by trusting in Him even when we can't see through the trials. Join Ric and Mary Joyner in a podcast for pewsitters.
