NOT A MATTER OF WILL HE
Today's reading: Exodus 17-20

"Moses named the place Massah--the place of testing--and Meribah--the place of arguing--because the people of Israel argued with Moses and tested the Lord by saying, Is the Lord going to take care of us or not? Exodus 17:7 NLT

I have to tell you, I've never questioned whether or not the Lord would help me--He promises to do it, so I believe He will. My assurance is not based on me being so deserving or so Christ-like. It's not  because I think myself something special in His eyes, although He says I am.

But I get where the Israelites might have had that question.

Kind of.

I mean they had seen some miraculous things.

They had tasted some God-sent food.

They had watched as their enemy was defeated.

The question usually floating around in my mind doesn't have to do with 'if' He will help me.

To be brutally honest, it's more like, Will I let Him help me?
