Topic: EVEN IN THE WILDERNESS 7: God Expect Our Praise
MEMORY VERSE:
Isaiah 43:19.
“19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I WILL EVEN MAKE A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS, AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Thessalonians 5:18.
“18. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
If there was anything thing the children of Israel were good at while in the wilderness, it was grumbling, complaining and focusing on their past. One good thing about life is, focus on how to change where you are and not comparing your past with the present. When you focus on a better yesterday you kill the future today. When you refuse to appreciate where you are today you’re truncating your better tomorrow. God still wants us to appreciate Him even in the wilderness. Wilderness doesn’t deny God His praise. After every victory in the wilderness, we are to praise His name. When things seems bad, we are to praise Him, no matter the situation, as long as we are living, we need to tell Him, “Thank you Jesus”.
Egypt’ mentality couldn’t allowed the Israelite give God thanks while in the wilderness. Above all else, we need to keep praising Him because He is too faithful in all occurrences. Jesus, in the wilderness when there was little food to feed more than ten thousand people, He still gave God thanks, and it led to multiple food. Can you do that today, even in tears, pains, lack or discouragement, give God praise wholeheartedly and He will return your praise with testimony.
Good Day and God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
