I just wanted to touch on something I've been reading quite a bit about lately. I've been reading Numbers and Deuteronomy and am at the point where the Israelites are just about into the promised land. It's incredible what they've come through, leaving Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, 40 years in the desert, etc. One thing that has been constant throughout is God's faithfulness towards the Israelites. One thing that hasn't been constant is the Israelites faithfulness to God. They have a tendency whenever things start to go well to not lean on God. In contrast, when they things are going poorly or they are facing adversity, they cry out to God for help. This presents a problem when they reach the promised land, because once again they fall away from God in the good times.

We need to be more consistent in our faithfulness on God. He wants us to lean on him. It's always easier to trust him when things get rough, but it's just as important when things are going well - because He is the one from whom the good things come. Be thankful and keep trusting in Him; He'll always be there for you, and He deserves the same from us.
