In reading Exodus, I ask myself am I like the Israelite or like Jethro? The Israelite complained about no food. God provided food, warned them not to be greedy. Yet they did not trust Him to provide the next day. In their distrust, they took more than they could possibly eat. The food went bad. Do I do that, not trust God to provide for tomorrow? Am I a hoarder, saving for a "rainy day"? Am I being held back by my mistrust? I know in my heart of hearts that God will always provide for me as I can see He has done for years. Why must I hold on to the baggage? God is calling me to place my wholehearted trust in Him. He is calling me to live simply and contently in His loving arms. I need to trust Him to follow through with His promise. I want to be like Jethro and praise the Lord for all he is done.
Are you a complaining Israelite or a content and rejoicing Jethro?
