God’s Promises Vs Worlds Prospects – Part II

Israel had become desolate and was surrounded by mighty, conquering nations. Egypt was a possibility for them to seek out a ‘better life.’

God told them to abide there in the desolate land and also asked them to trust Him.

When it is not in our power to do any better we resign to the will of God. But when we have the ability to pursue a better life, do we deny that privilege for continuing to trust in God.

Living a holy, set apart life today is like a tent in a hostile desert and the storms rage wild, the people of the world wilder still. The world.inc shows great promises and the path of the saint is challenging indeed.

Would we trust God to protect us in our tents? Or, would we seek some tower of Babel for ourselves as some kind of insurance and assurance?

God will protect us in our tents and the towers of the world will perish.

The people of Israel thought (Jeremiah 42) that going to Egypt would be better off for them. But they failed to see that ‘what happens to them in Egypt and what happens to Egypt’ is decided by Yahweh God. Yahweh God who could preserve them in the desolate land and also prosper them there.
