“Your complaints are not against us but against the LORD” Exodus 16:8.

The Israelites had no reason to complain against God because He had provided them before hand with whatever they needed on their journey from Egypt to Canaan. But they kept on complaining for trivial reasons, which angered the Lord. Coming out of Egypt was itself one of the greatest miracles, which the Lord did for His people. They saw with their own eyes how the Lord had parted the Red sea and how their enemies were drowned in it. As they moved further they forgot all about what the Lord did for them and started murmuring against Moses and Aaron.

During these days too we find people with complaining spirit. I know a person who had a very low beginning and was immensely blessed by the Lord with supernatural miracles, which he could not imagine. Every time I talked to him, he complained about everything. Please do remember, the complaints that we make are against God. Take time to think of the blessings He has showered upon you. God gave the Israelites ‘Manna’ which was food of the angels (Psalm 78:25). God provided quails for His people as we read in Numbers 11:31. The Lord made the bitter waters of Marah to sweet water Exodus 15:25. He provided them water from the rock at Rephidim and at Kadesh as we read in Exodus 17:6 and in Numbers 20:8. God showed the Israelites twice that He had stored water for His chosen ones in a rock. He knew that His people would travel this same route and blessed them with water, which no one had ever touched. Moreover, God protected His people as we read in Exodus 13:21, “And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.” As we read in Psalm 78:55, “He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them an inheritance by survey, and made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.”

We read of this inheritance in Psalm 105:44 as, “And they inherited the labor of the nations.”

My dear readers, He is the same God yesterday, today and tomorrow. Do not worry or complain against the Lord because He knows what you need. He knows what you need even before you pray about it.

Be Blessed!

“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward” Psalm 127:3.

When we go through the scriptures we find that Jesus loved children. In Matthew 19:14 we see the disciples rebuked the children who were brought to Jesus so that He might put His hands and pray for them. But Jesus replied, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Throughout the Holy Bible we see several families which lacked children. God was so compassionate that he understood the hurt they were going through and blessed them with children. Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 11:30), Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 25:21), Jacob and Rachel (Genesis 29:31), Manoah and his wife (Judges 13:2), Elkanah and Hannah (1 Samuel 1:2), Zacharias and Elizabeth (Luke 1:7) were all blessed with children. And needless to say their offspring were great men of God.

I have accompanied my Pastor several times to pray for people who lacked children. And most of them received as Hannah received Samuel. I remember on May 20, 2008 a couple who are related to me received their baby girl after nineteen years. Nothing is impossible to God. They had done several tests and lost a good amount of money but finally came to Jesus to receive their baby girl. Psalm 128:3 says, “Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD.”

Children are a blessing from the Lord. Jesus at one time told His disciples in Matthew 18:3, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

“Know that the LORD, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture” Psalm 100:3.

What a wonderful God we have who takes care of us in amazing and mysterious ways. He has great and mighty plans for us. As we read in Psalm 33:11, “The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.” The day we promised that we are His; He took over us and made wonderful plans for us. Believe me, even until this moment He is the master. “He is the God of my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; my Savior, You save me from violence”

2 Samuel 22:3.

It is a wonderful experience to be His chosen people. As we read in Deuteronomy 14:2 “For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.”

“just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love…”Ephesians 1:4. Yes, He chose us before the foundations of the world and that is amazing. We read in Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

I have reached a point where He is everything in my life. Psalm 16:8 says, “I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.” When I look back, there were many critical situations when I was all by myself. He was right by my side to hold me and take care of me. “He bore us on eagles’ wings and brought us to Himself” Exodus 19:4. “You are my LORD, my goodness is nothing apart from You” Psalm 16:2.

Dear believer, it is high time you give your lives to the LORD. Believe me; He has great plans for you. Let Him be the LORD of your lives.

Be Blessed!

“And Samuel said, “Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you” 1 Samuel 9:24.

God sets apart the best for His children. No matter whatever the circumstances are, His children will be fed with the best of the land. It does not matter whether you are in the midst of recession or in any sort of awful situation; do not worry, God is in control. God asked Samuel to anoint Saul as the first commander of Israel. He informed Samuel about Saul’s coming as we read in 1 Samuel 9:15-17. Although Saul came to Samuel in search of the lost donkeys, God had seen him as the next commander of Israel.

We read in Isaiah 1:19, “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword”; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

When the Israelites complained to Moses about food, God heard their complaint and “had rained down manna on them to eat, and given them of the bread of heaven. Men ate angels’ food; He sent them food to the full” Psalm 78:24-25. We still have the same God for us who fed the Israelites. He has the best for you and me. Do not be shocked when you hear of earthquakes and tsunamis. It is not for us.

The Pharaoh of Egypt had supernatural favor on Joseph because he knew Joseph had the Spirit of God in him. Now when Pharaoh came to know that Joseph’s brothers visited him during the famine, see what Pharaoh tells Joseph in Genesis 45:18, “Bring your father and your households and come to me; I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.” And moreover not satisfied with what he told, Pharaoh adds on to it in verse 20, “Also do not be concerned about your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.”

God does not want you to live from pay check to pay check, but He wants you to have The Best to the maximum. Psalm 81:10 says, “Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. And He is ready “to feed you with the finest of wheat and honey from the rock until you are satisfied” Psalm 81:16.

My dear brothers and sisters, it does not matter which part of the world you are, God sees you and has kept The Best for you if you remain faithful to Him. Nothing is impossible to God. Believe, He has great and mighty plans for you and THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Be Blessed!

“So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.” Exodus 23:25
