Is God merely the means to an end for you? Is God the tool for your happiness? At this point in Jacob’s life, He is. He may be in your life as well. Until you are broken, brought low, brought to the end of yourself.

Doubting God’s Provision

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 19, 2017

Like the Israelites of old, we are quick to complain and grumble and quarrel, and our fight really is with God, doubting his provision, forgetting what he has done for us in the past. But God is present and at work if we will only trust him.

Exodus 17:1-7 Doubting God’s Provision Do you wake up grumpy in the morning? No, just let him sleep! (That’s an old joke.) I went to the dentist this week, and I heard a patient in the cubicle next to me grumbling about the fee. She said, “Two hundred bucks for one tooth extraction! And it’s only ...read more

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021

Belshazzar arrogantly tested the Lord by converting the use of the most holy vessels from God's temple into vessels for the most unholy of purposes--worshiping idols and drunken immorality. He thus discovered a recipe for spiritual disaster. Learn from him how to avoid spiritual disaster!
