“The Hand Of The Lord”

The whole congregation of the Israelites set out from Elim; and Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt. The whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

Exodus 16:1-5

Life can appear discouraging. If we peer too far ahead of today, the challenges may seem insurmountable, and impossible.

The Bible reminds us that today is all we need to tackle. We don’t need to worry about tomorrow’s tasks.

Every hill in life is too high if we think we must climb it all at once. But no hill is too high to climb if we take it one step forward at a time – with God’s help.

God is there to give us strength

for every hill we have to climb.
