Delivered

"Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, And were brought low for their iniquity" (Psalms 106:43 NKJV). Remember the many times we disobeyed the Lord to do our own thing, only to find ourselves far from Him and all alone? Remember when decided to cry out for help, the many times that His grace and mercy came to us in our time of need? God is faithful to His covenant. The children of Israel had a hard time walking with the Lord. They would walk with Him for a time when it benefited them, then the attractions of the world that would so easily arouse the flesh, the sin nature, would lead them away from trusting and believing in God. It is no different today than it was thousands of years ago in the wilderness. So many people are losing their souls due to the attractions of the flesh. They have their hearts in Christ, but no strength to control the sinful desires. "Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds" (vs. 39). When we take our eyes off of God's Holiness, we too can easily fall into the same old sin that the flesh hungers for. Jesus must be in every thing we plan to do. The minute we set His Word aside and chase after our own wants we will be found in a world of mess. However, God is true and faithful. He keeps His Word. He hears the cry of His children in the world today, just as He heard them in the wilderness. We are just a cry away from freedom. Keep your eyes on Christ. God bless you. Amen
