Oh my I'm such an Israelite!

As I read the familiar story of the Israelites being lead by moses through the wilderness I suddenly realize how often I act just as they did in unbelief. Every time they faced an imposable challenge they ran to Moses in fear.
Blaming him for the situation that they were in.
Exo 14:11(ESV) They said to Moses, "Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt?

Oh, how often I have done this! Every time we as a family come to an uncomfortable place, I run to my husband! Often starting a "conversation" with " you are the leader of this family how could you allow us to be put in this situation?". Never thinking that just as God through Moses lead the people by way of the Red Sea instead of by land to grow their faith, he to is growing my faith.
Exo 13:17(ESV) When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near.
Exo 14:2(ESV) "Tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamp in front of Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall encamp facing it, by the sea.

Prayer

I read this book about praying scripture and have been putting it to practice. I could not have imagined all the wonderful things that it has already brought about in my life. It is something awesome when you bring to God's attention the things he has in mind for you. It is also very comforting to know that what I am praying IS HIS WILL and he will bring it about all I have to do is ask and claim it!
