Ezra 8:21-23, 31-32 It would be nice if we received a package at the time of our salvation that explained all the benefits of membership. Then we could see how our decision to join would cause us to receive automatic protection and blessing. However, that is not how it works. Our salvation is secure, but our lives are still day to day. Crises occur, illnesses afflict, and uncertainties abound. I wonder if these seemingly bad things are around because they keep us talking to God? Our petitions to God for protection keep us close to God in a deeper way than our thanks for blessings will ever do. When we walk through the dark, scary places; holding only to His hand, we really get to know His nature.
Go to Him with everything. He'll be glad to hear from you.
