I can trust God even when I can't see what He is doing!

God has lovingly reminded me this morning that He is always working on my behalf for His glory.  

As I was in my study of Exodus this morning I was impressed with the fact of how the Israelites seemed to trust God when they could see His miracles and His works on their behalf and when it benefited them personally.  When God had brought them across the Red Sea the scripture says that they feared the Lord, they believed in the Lord, and they believed in Moses but how quickly they forgot His faithfulness when they could not see what God was doing.  I had to ask myself how quickly can I doubt when I can not see what God is doing?   The Lord lovingly reminded me that I am to walk by faith not by sight and that He is always working on my behalf even when I can't seem to see anything happening.  I am so thankful that God in His mercy and grace spoke to me this morning through His word to remind me of this beautiful truth and to caution me to remember He is always with me, He will never leave me nor forsake me, and He is working on my behalf for His glory and I can trust Him.  It may not always be how I see it because my ways are not always His ways but I can trust in His faithfulness!
