Better Than Miracles

Contributed by Don Baggett on Jan 25, 2008

Contributed by Beth Garrod-Logsdon on Feb 4, 2008

God rescued the Israelites through a series of miracles- but when the going got tough, the Israelites always wanted to return to Egypt.  When our going gets tough, do we trust God to provide or do we long for the "good ol’ days" of Egypt?
