Each place in our pilgrimage mirrors the places in the Israelites’ journey from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land only we are leaving the slavery of sin and heading for the ultimate Promised Land, Heaven. Bitterness about our circumstances or the people surrounding us is really rebellion against God for letting the situation occur. We need to be healed from bitterness and rebellion, but how? We are to expect trials and adversities in our Christian growth. This message reminded me of the video Bear made where he discussed why bad things happen to good people. He said we shouldn’t ask ‘why us?’ but rather ‘why not us?’ But this does not mean that we can handle anything that comes our way without divine help. Lately our family has been beset by various illnesses of differing severity. Lord, I pray your healing touch on those family members and any church members out there right now going through difficult times, in Jesus’ precious name I pray, Amen.

Very well put Jeff. Our prayers also go out to family and friends who are going
through trials right now.
