But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger away, and did not stir up all His wrath. 

For He remembered that they were but flesh, a breath that passes away does not come again. 

Psalm 78:38-39

We read in the bible about God's own people, the Israelites, were freed from Egyptian slavery and set a course for a new land..."flowing with milk and honey"...yet they challenged God, questioned God's faithfulness to provide and did their own thing...living in disobedience. 

As Christians, we are traveling to a new land, rich in all the luxuries of Heaven and blessings of being in the presence of God. We have so much to look forward to as we journey through life. 

Yet, so often we take our focus off God and look at the tangible things and people of the world and rely on them for our happiness. After a while these temporary things either lose their luster or go away and we are heartbroken, lost and fearful. A life focused on the world will guarantee an emotional roller-coaster of ups and downs. 

How God longs for us to release ourselves from the world and learn to trust in Him to supply all of our needs; surrender our selfish ways and fleshly desires to walk in strict obedience to His word. When we keep our focus on Him, nothing will sting our spirit...we will journey with confidence as we travel toward our home in Heaven. 

Fix your eyes on Him, walk in obedience and trust He will guide your every step and see the blessings that await you as you travel through the world. God bless friends.
