Over and over again the Israelites became impatient. They grumbled and complained against God and dishonored and quarreled those God had put over them. They constantly were looking back toward Egypt when their eye did not see the end.
O soul, how often do you lack faith and become impatient for what lies ahead. You, oh so quickly, look back to the "good old' days" forgetting the bondage your dear Father has freed you from. You forget how He has so often heard your cries and grumblings and supplied you with food and water in the wilderness. O feeble one, how quick you are to rely on your own eyes rather than on your God.
How often have your eyes deceived you; causing you to believe that a situation is impossible, that the end will never come, or even that God no longer cares and you are forsaken?
Now, dear soul, consider this, how often has your Father deceived you? Can you think of any time? Of course not! He will never leave you, deceive you, or not provide for you.
O Child of God, trust in your Father and look with eyes of faith towards the ultimate goal, for He will never disappoint!
