How quickly we tend to forget. Life goes as we plan and expect. Slowly we seem to forget God. We lose sight of all the things He has done. Then one day it happens we are struck with some sort of hardship. We turn our eyes to God and cry out “Why.” We wonder how this could happen. We are puzzled as to how we failed. When 9/11 happened you could see a difference in people everywhere. All of a sudden people flocked to pray and seek God. Everyone seemed eager to help. But slowly over time things slipped back to the usual hum drum.
It is easy to turn to God in hardship when we want something from Him. Instead we need to keep our eyes on Him at all times. We not only need God during the difficult times we need Him when times are good as well. God provides, protects, guides, and blesses His people. We are shown over and over how God is there. He tore down the walls of Jericho. Jesus is the Good Shepherd guiding His flock. He tends to His flock ensuring safe green pastures. Next time you are walking on a rocky path just remember the green pastures just over the hill. While you are in a green pasture full of lush grass and cold water remember who it was that brought you there…
