While God continued to show Himself strong on behalf of His people, Israel continually lacked the faith to trust Him as they should.
But He was patient and led them along in love and in grace.
Psalm 78:38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
Thank God we serve a patient God.
How many times have we failed to walk in faith in the Lord, and instead of throwing us away, He continues to love us and work in our lives. We have a patient and loving Lord.
We can trust Him for everything in our lives.
We serve a God who has demonstrated His power, His grace, His love and His character many times over.
