God never promised anyone that life was going to be easy. Trials are a part of the fabric of life, and without them the garment can’t hold up. Trials are like the rebar in those massive bridges that span great rivers. You can’t see them, but the structure hold up because of them.
Exodus 16:1-3
They set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the people of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt. 2 And the whole congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness, 3 and the people of Israel said to them, “Would that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots and ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”
This was not the first or last time we find them grumbling because there is always something to grumble about. However, on close examination we always find God providing and leading.
So don’t be an old grouch. Just keep moving forward.
Think about it.
