Today's Verse from the New Living TranslationYet how quickly they forgot what he had done!They wouldn't wait for his counsel!In the wilderness their desires ran wild, testing God's patience in that dry wasteland.So he gave them what they asked for, but he sent a plague along with it.
Psalm 106:1315
Encouragement for Today
Sometimes God gives us what we ask for, but adds something along with it that we dont want or expect to show us this wasn't his way for us in the first place. If we forget God or refuse to wait for his counsel, our desires can easily run wild. Jealousy, envy, and all kinds of sin can take over when we forget God and refuse to wait on him. The antidote? Remember what he has done in the past, and wait for his counsel.
