When prosperity is flowing and everything is good it is easy to praise God.

But what if suddenly your life is turned upside down, will you praise the Lord?

During those turbulent times, you may ask, “Where is God?”

Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

When we doubt God during distressful times we are tempting Him.

We must beware of the place called Massah and Meribah.

As long as we live in this world we will have problems but during troublesome times we must not forget the blessings of God during the good times.

Reflect on the past miracles of God and let them assure you that what He had done before He will do again.

God has done it before and He will certainly do it again.

The children of Israel complained against God when they were in difficulties.

“Yes, they spoke against God:
They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? Behold, He struck the rock, so that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can He give bread also? Can He provide meat for His people?” (Psalms 78:19-29 NKJV)

The Lord heard their complaint and was angry with them “because they did not believe in God, and did not trust in His salvation.” (Psalms 78:22 NKJV)

Despite God’s anger, He opened the windows of heaven and rained down angel’s food (Bread of heaven) for His people on earth until they were satisfied.

Additionally, the Lord rained meat for the people “like the dust and feathered fowl like the sand of the seas.” (Psalms 78:26-28 NKJV).

God prepared abundant food in the wilderness for the Israelites but because they doubted God, the wrath of God came against them and they choked when the food was in their mouth and many of them died.

But God is merciful and “full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them.” (Psalms 78:38 NKJV).

However, the people consistently “tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power: The day when He redeemed them from the enemy.” (Psalms 78:41-42 NKJV)

We have proof that God can prepare a place in the wilderness.

Therefore, we will not doubt God’s ability. We will not tempt Him but we will trust in His unfailing power.

Do you remember when God prepared a table for you in the wilderness?

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
