"Is the Lord with us or not?" Exodus 17:7.
That's ever the question. Especially when things aren't going right. When we're thirsty, really thirsty, and there's no water in the fridge. Or the faucet. And the river's dried up. When there's no food. When the cupboards are empty. Really empty, not like when there's no corn, so we'll have to do with beans. Empty. Nothing. Nothing for the kids. And we see no food coming tomorrow, or the day after. When our hearts have been ripped out and we're left devastated. And there's no respite from sorrow. Is God there or not? Well, he said he would be.
We contact a brother or sister today trusting our God will provide somehow in the midst of distress. And, together, in faith's thanksgiving, we anticipate his provision.
