"Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and revering him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land."
Deuteronomy 8:6 & 7
Our journey to the Promised Land can, at times, feel like forty years of wandering in the desert, like the Israelites did. The electricity goes out, you get a speeding ticket, your loved one goes to the hospital, someone you know is diagnosed with cancer, your computer gets a virus, your cable bill goes up...and that was just today. What will happen tomorrow?
The good news is, for believers in Christ, we are on our way to a better land. We are in a foreign land, akin to being an immigrant, for our real home is in heaven. Along the way, God will be there to take care of us, just like the Israelites. He sent manna and quail for food, caused water to flow from a rock, and made sure their clothes and shoes didn't wear out. Yes, they still had problems, but, walking with God along the way, they had a problem-solver as their disposal.
So do we, and he is leading us to an even better place than we can imagine!
