Today's verse is Numbers 11:15
And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
As I was reading the chapter which this verse comes from, I was thinking as I have before, "What if I murmured and complained as Israel did, would God see my plight and answer me, relieving me of the straight I currently am in?" Is this not the wretchedness that Moses is speaking of here? As we search the scriptures we see God’s people in travail, often wondering where God is. But we see that God is present, sometimes working behind the scenes, at others working openly, but in the end, according to God’s purpose and promises, he delivers his own out of their turmoil just as he has said. So, put your Trust in the Lord your God, and he will be faithful to his promises, and know your suffering will not be in vain. Amen.
To God be the Glory
