Through the Wilderness – Psalm 136.16

Psalm 136:16 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.

God, the creator of the universe. Jehovah, the covenant God of Israel, chose them and made them his people. Part of his plan was to have them go off into the slavery of Egypt. Then, by his sovereign plan, he led them out into the wilderness and caused them all to die in the wilderness, only to cleanse and purify the nation. It was his plan, his mercy, his lovingkindness. His love held on to them and continued to hold them and plead with them and deal with their rebellion and lack of faith. Do you feel like you are in the wilderness? Having a hard time, going through difficulties, and feeling unsettled? No matter what, realize that He continues to care and guide you. Ease of life does not mean He is with you; problems and struggles do not mean He has forsaken you. He is there ready to pour out his lovingkindness even in your wilderness, even when you are grumbling and complaining about Him, He still waits on you to turn to him and not away from him. His loving kindness if there, just call on Him
