Stay Out Of Egypt

How many times do we like the children of Israel return to Egypt? God brings us through something and then when things get a little rough we go back to Egypt instead of to God for answers. When God sent Moses to bring His people out of Egypt, they went through all sorts of difficulties, but the LORD GOD each time brought them through. God said, He was going to give them a land filled with milk and honey, a good land, but even after all the miracles He showed them, they still doubted everytime something arose. They would mumble and grumble among themselves and tell Moses why didn't he leave them in Egypt, (where they were slaves to Pharoah)???

Aren't we like that? How many times has God brought us through a difficult time, just so then the next time somethng comes up, we start wringing our hands, worrying how we are going to get something done, or how we will make it through an illness, or pay a bill, when God tells us over and over again in His word, that He will provide, He will protect, He will lead us out of bondage no matter what our circumstances are. Why do we continue to think that the world can whoop GOD? My GOD is so much bigger than this world. I mean He did create the world after all, so why would we think that there is anything on this earth that GOD can not take care of for us?

When we continue to return to Egypt, (to our problems) we give power unto the Pharoah of that problem. We transfer our power over to the problem and we let the problem take care of us instead of us taking care of the problem. We need to be strong in our faith and what God says in His word, and dig our heels in and say, NO to our circumstances and yes to GOD's help. We need to quit depending on our puny selves and let God take control in our lives. We need to quit trying to fly the plane without a pilots license and let GOD be the pilot and we be the co-pilot. AMEN!

No matter what the problems are surrounding you, GOD has the answer in His word. We just need to spend time with Him and studying his word and not time with our problem giving it more thought and power. AMEN!

Phillipians 4 v 19....And my GOD shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.......

Psalms 35 v 1-2.....Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.......

2 Tim. 4 v 17a.....But the LORD stood with me and strengthened me.......

2 TIm. 4 v 18.....And the LORD will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. AMEN!

Back off and let GOD have the lead and then follow His lead to your Victory. AMEN!
