yet over n overtime again God In his Mercy still delivers them...

• Once out of Egypt.. God directs MOses to lead the whole gang of them to the shores of the REd sea .. they look back n realise that the armies of Pharaoh is catching up on them... and GUess what they do here.. as u know.. they complained, whined, lashed out at Moses... " won't it be better for us to still stay in eygpt..no graves in Eygpt? wanna us to die in the wilderness, they even said this.. it would have been better for us to serve the Eygptians than for ur to die inthe wilderness ( translated by me.. hee)"

see the attitude here.. when things r not going on right, they complained, whined like little immature children, mummured agst MOses.. Their own selfish reasons overrode with their desire to fulfill God'd own will.... they were consumed with a love for their own lives.. n lacked the BUrning desire to Know N seek God's heart ....

Once again God is merciful .. he splits the red sea.. n bring them to the Dry ground.. with the rest of the armies buried under the mighty waters of e Red sea...As u know, the children of Israel cheered, rejoiced n praised and danced B4 God.. guess wat all these r short lived!! a few days later, when they realized that h20 was scarce, the supplies of food was slowly diminishing.. they once again Bitterly complain n whined.... " Back in Eygpt.. we had pots of meat n bread to eat to out fullest .. here where u have brought us to ... the wilderness has nothing.. u wanna kill this whole assembl ewith HUnger... (own translation by me)..see ...these pple here are only happy and thankful when things are going on well for them .. they get wat they want,but get unhappy when things r not going well for them... They elevate their own desires Over His Heart n purpose...

Oh.. u know wat happen.. God got FED up...n tells MOses..translated n shorten by me.. but the gist is there ya.." i would give you this land.. i will send an angel b4 u ...But i will not be with you for u r a stubborn, unruly pple..." ( Ex33:1-3)

God told Moses that he would lead the pple into the promised land...he would even send a angel to guide, protect n drive enemies off BUt his Presence Was not going along...

take note MOses Response...

he said," If your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here." ( Ex33.15)

MOses values the presence of God more than any thing else in his life.. take note of the " here" high-lighted in green.. remember where they r at ... In the wilderness... wilderness speaks of a place of lack , hardships, sufferings, trials, challenges... MOses chooses n elevate the presence of God Above all his comfort n pleasures... Moses declares that he would rather have the presence Of God in a place where there in much to bear .. than be in a envionment,place full of honey and milk but Void of his presence...

Oh..let this be the heart cry of all our hearts.. Let's yearn for a tangible presence oF God more than we ever had ... Let's prized the intimacy of God Above Hid blessings and treasures.. let's Love God for Who he is ...

Woo..long entry .. a revelation that i gotten thru the wk.. wanna pen it down to always remember this heavenly touch froom Heaven I pray that this somehow blesses whoever reads it...Let's make a commitment to Love God wholeheartedly in wat ever situation we are at ..

Be Bless
