Not Our Way, But God’s Way

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

Though the Lord had led them out of perilous situations, and taken care of all their needs, the Israelites were still hesitant to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. While Moses kept the promise of God at the forefront the people kept themselves ahead of everything else.

Do not fear or be dismayed.'” (ESV) These were the words of Moses to the people of Israel. When the Lord ...read more
