"I want to remind you of how the Lord once rescued the people of Israel from Egypt, but afterward destroyed those who did not believe." (Jude 1:5)
To me, this is a hard but clear message. We must have faith and believe what God has promised us. I know in my own life, there have been times where I have been tempted to give up all hope and not believe. God knows what He is doing. We are in the best hands that we could possibly be in. He brought us out of "Egypt" (difficult childhood, destructive marriage, deteriorating health, poverty, stressful job, etc) so we should be PRAISING Him, not grumbling against Him. Yes, we may be going through a time of "wilderness" but let us not prolong His promises or be destroyed by our own disbelief. Remember the God that saved you from the depths of Egypt!
To walk in disbelief means to walk a life of destruction. This is a warning to us all if we forsake God in our disbelief and chase after other "idols". By doing this, we spoil anything good that Christ has for us.
So today beloved, have faith and believe God for what He has promised you. He has you in the palm of His hand and He will not disappoint!
