—Nehemiah 9:26-31
by: Tabatha Pethtel.
As the people of Israel retold the ups and downs of their history, they acknowledged the hand of God at work. When they were obedient and listened to God, life was good. But when they became disobedient and turned from God and His commands, He handed them over to their enemies. Then they would cry out to God to deliver them. Yet, the cycle of obedience and disobedience would continue. God can combine our knowledge of “where we have been” with “who we are now” to help us discover what is next in our journey. However, we must still be obedient to the call God has placed on our lives to fully understand how He has moved us along that path all along.
