Exodus 14:12
Didn't we say to you in Egypt, "Leave us alone; let us
serve the Egyptians"? It would have been better for us to serve the
Egyptians than to die in the desert!
Perhaps some of us are struggling with an issue from the past
or are deeply troubled about our present circumstances. Maybe we're pining for
the good old days or fearful of what lies ahead. Whatever we are experiencing,
it's time to surrender it all to Christ and place it in His hands. Being
depressed about the past or anxious about the future just saps our energy,
well-being, and health. When we put ourselves in Christ's arms, He embraces us
and all our baggage. He promises to help us through the emotional wilderness
and to lead each of us to a better life, a more hopeful time, and a brighter
day. I know this to be true.
