The BEATLES had it right...

Yesterday, 
All my troubles seemed so far away, 
Now it looks as though they're here to stay, 
Oh, I believe in yesterday. 

What a powerful truth from the band known as the BEATLES!

So often we are burdened with the "roadblocks" of life.  Things arise that cause us to doubt the God we serve.  Maybe it is a hard day at work, a relationship gone wrong, an unexpected car problem, a medical bill, etc.

The Israelites did the same thing.  They find themselves in slavery in Egypt and a guy named Moses empowered by GOD, led a multimillion community out of bondage.  They see God do some awesome things in their deliverence including splitting the RED SEA.

And guess what happened.  Their stomachs started to growl...
"In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. 3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”  Exodus 16: 2-3

Really Israel, God brought you all the way out of the slavery you were in to waste away and to starve to death.  How ridiculous is that?  

Before you answer, we all do the same thing!  God moves mightily in the "Yesterday" of our journey and something arises today that causes us to doubt HIIM.  

Let us remember that GOD is good and HE is in control!  

May we begin to live out the words of the Beatles by...believing in the God movement of our YESTERDAY.  After all the writer of Hebrews reminds us that God is the same YESTERDAY, today and forever!

Rest in HIS PEACE!
