Your Faithfulness


Your faithfulness Lord, is the theme through out the bible and through out our lives.  In exodus 12 and 13 the Isrealites were confused as they were supposed to be leaving Egypt and then they were told to wander back into the desert.  To them this plan questioned their trust, did Moses really know what he was doing?  Was the faithful God of Israel really still in control?  At one point they even said they would be happy to just be slaves in Egypt.  But you had a plan, if they did not follow you even when they didn´t understand the plan, and the route seemed strange almost foolish, then they never would of walked through the Red sea, they would not only have surely died in Egypt and they would of missed out on an opportunity to see your mighty hand part the sea and stay the enemy.  How many times Lord are we like the Israelites?  We aren´t sure of the road you have chosen, can we really trust a God who would ask us to go back into the very places we are trying to escape?  But you are aware of the terrors that befall us, nothing eludes you.  You know the end from the beginning.  You know who we are and the persons we will become after we trudge through whatever road lays ahead of us.  You know that we will be people that will be more trusting, more balanced, more beautiful because we chose by your grace to follow you.  Your faithfulness Lord is the theme of our lives.
