But even still...just like the children of Israel doubted God, even after He brought them across the red sea and delivered them from the Egyptians, even still...I sometimes doubt Him.
It's kinda ridiculous, but I do. I think we all struggle with this. But that's why I keep reminding myself to focus on His Word. For as we focus on His Word, our faith grows...
I just came across the following passage and thought I should share it for today's post.
"There are many whose hearts are aching under a load of care because they seek to reach the world’s standard. They have chosen its service, accepted its perplexities, adopted its customs. Thus their character is marred, and their life made a weariness. In order to gratify ambition and worldly desires, they wound the conscience, and bring upon themselves an additional burden of remorse. The continual worry is wearing out the life forces. Our Lord desires them to lay aside this yoke of bondage. He invites them to accept His yoke; He says, “My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” He bids them seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and His promise is that all things needful to them for this life shall be added. Worry is blind, and cannot discern the future; but Jesus sees the end from the beginning. In every difficulty He has His way prepared to bring relief. Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us, of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service and honor of God supreme will find perplexities vanish, and a plain path before their feet." Desire of Ages, p. 330
Did you catch that? Our Heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us, of which we know nothing!
That means, as my good friend Martin says, if I have 999 ways figured out how to provide for a problem, God still has 1,000 more that I haven't even thought of! And as we accept the ONE PRINCIPLE of making the service and honor of God supreme, we will see perplexities vanish and a plain path before our feet.

Review:
- Bible Thought: God has a 1,000 ways and more to provide! His Word is faithful!
- Blessing: Going to hear Voice of the Martyrs meeting and being reminded how much I truly do have to be thankful for.
- Battles: Praying that God will help me use each day wisely. Time is so short! He is coming soon!! I don't want anyone to miss out that I could have reached... "Lord help me be faithful and brighten the corner where I am!"
