Exodus 17

I agree with what Mark has to say about this chapter. The people of Israel continually doubt the Lord's plan for them. Each time they do not get what they want they cry to Moses and bemoan the fact that he brought them out of Egypt. Did they really think that their lives were so great being slaves to Pharoah? After all of the signs and miracles performed before them how could they continue to doubt God?

I certainly hope that I would not be the same way. I do believe that God has a plan for me and I am hopefully following that plan. I ask each day for God's guidance and help. Some days I feel his presence more than others but I do believe that he is moving me in his direction.

Faith is a tough thing for some people. When people ask me why I believe in God I don't have an intelligent answer. I tell them that I believe because that is what I was brought up believing and there have been times in my life when I have felt his presence and know that he has helped me. I just believe.
