>I am currently in the midst of a battle where there sometimes seems to be no human rational for why I am going through this. I think of the people of Israel when they were caught between the sea, the mountains, and an angry army. What is the initial reaction that we display when we are faced with an insurmountable foe? The people of Israel became fearful and wondered why they were lead to this wilderness to die! They didn’t remember the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night which was with them when the difficulty came. I think it is all too easy to sit back and think that God is there when times are easy and we feel a semblance of control. In those times we need to remember that God is for us and He will deliver us from any situation we may find ourselves in.
Looking back in my life I see that God has been taking care of me through the difficult times and the easy times. I think it is all too easy feel helpless when I am faced with unexpected twists like a surgery in 4 days but I know that God will help me through this just as He has proven time and time again. I have absolutely no control over what happens to me but I know that God is able and for that I am thankful.
