*DAILY DEW 17/AUGUST/2023* *HOW TO LAST* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee."* (Exodus 15:26 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ After they murmured, we will notice that God seemed to overlook their response style instead we read as follows:- *"And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them."* Exodus 15:25 KJV And then the Lord added...*"If thou wilt DILIGENTLY hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes...."* the promise that follows is not the problem. The problem is our ability to carry out the terms of engagement! Shortly after this scenario, another problem came up and once again, they responded with even a worse attitude:- *"And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: and the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."* (Exodus 16:2‭-‬3 (KJV)) Dont be so surprised with their response. Rather, look inwards, when and how have you behaved in like manner? Of course, not with the same words but have your faith not dropped and your commitments to the Lord wanned when your prayers kept looking unanswered? Have you not been tempted to "help" God since God was being too slow? Have you not accused God of abandoning you and being unfair? Have you not asked God why he has not delivered as expected both or either directly or indirectly? _MEDITATION:_ *"Your Faith in God is not proven by how you praise God when your prayers are answered but by how you praise God even when you have no testimony yet!"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
