The Israelites praised God through their singing and dancing.
Do Baptist's allow that? (Insert winky face)
I wonder if they were so busy giving him praise that they forgot to listen to him. Were they so caught up in celebration that they missed this warning. Were they so enthralled in the good and easy times that they missed his word?
I know this has been me. Over and over again.
I go through trials. God delivers me. I rejoice in the good times. I forget that I need to be in his word daily. In good times and bad. I forget to depend on him.
I get so frustrated reading about these people. I even sigh and shake my head while reading some of these passages. I think to myself "why can they just figure it out?".
God gives us laws. decrees, promises...We have to be connected with him daily to know, to hear his voice, and to prepare our hearts for both easy and tough times.
I hope that you hear me as I say this. Being in his word daily has not made my life easy, instead it allows me to be better equipped to know his will for me. It helps me stay connected to my Father. It helps me to remember his faithfulness. I get to see and experience his love for me daily.
If you are not connecting with him daily I am strongly encouraging you to do so. Practice this in the good times so you will be prepared for not so good times.
