Seriously? How does one get joyful over an enemy who strikes you down at every turn? How about a loved-one suffering beyond human comprehension? And what is up with God testing our faith – daily?
This is a subject worth contemplating and studying. The children of Israel in Exodus wanted deliverance from bondage, but they desired it on their own terms. They did not desire the changes required that secured their freedom. Many do not like change, not realizing that to Live is to Change.
Well said, Keith. It seems to be an ongoing pattern with the children of God. The not so funny thing is, even after the believer's Rapture, the Jews continue to place their loyalty in Israel's greatest enemy. My old pastor use to say, "Sin makes you stupid." I tend to agree with him.

Thank you Stephen. Really enjoyed this one. Lots of meat to chew on.
Awesome! You know me, meat is better than milk. Particularly when it comes with mushrooms, baked potato and salad. Lol.
