From the writings of Moses presenting the Exodus of God's people, we
see a very bumpy ride.

God had prepared an 11 day expedited trip to the Promise Land. It
could have been a quick, easy and blessed direct connection.

Instead we are regaled with stories of woe, pain, sorrow, distress
and miracle provision that covers 40 years of wandering and going
in circles.

They left Egypt by divine direction and provision. The "gospel bus"
was there to carry them
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you
today, that I have set before you, life and death, the blessing
and curse. Choose life in order that you may live, you and your
descendants.
20 by loving the Lord your God
by obeying His voice
by holding fast to Him
for in this you ensure your life
and the length of your days on earth

Proverbs 10:22 It is the blessing of the Lord
that makes rich
and He add no sorrow to it.

Because the people sought their own devices, and received the counsel
of the wicked, they wandered 40 years, not on the gospel bus, in
plenty, but, because they chose to ride in satan's chariot, they
suffered loss and death.
Hebrews 3:16 For some, heard the word of God and yet provoked His
igdignation...
17 and who was it, with whom God was angry forty whole years,
was it not with those who sinned,
whose bodies lay where they fell in the desert?

Hebrews 3:6 and we are members of His household,
if only we retain, keep, hold on to
the confidence and sense of triump
which our hope inspires,
unshaken and steadfast until the end.

As we learn from 2 Corinthians 4:18, we make our choice of rides,when
we look to the gospel bus to carry us, or we mount satan's chariot
through inaction, doubt, unbelief, fear or rebellion against truth.

Satan's chariot can lead to two very different outcomes. If one rides
by choice, the ride leads to destruction. If one is hijacked, taken by force or kidnapped, the ride can ultimately arrive at victory, if
the Word is exalted.

Genesis 50:20 (NAS) "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God
meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to
preserve many people alive.

You may be down today,
But help is on the way.
Unwavering faith will see you through
His promises will promote you.

The Word + Faith + You = Overcoming
