Walk 24

I must say,
the 24th of January was a pretty good day.
I feel like 
everyone
should have good days.


Good things on the 24th of January:
Yup, this is what you do when you're bored at work with nothing to do.
  •  Having a good day of classes.
  • Having a pretty easy day of work. I get to sit and do random stuff on my Ipod most of the time! I uploaded a bunch of free camera apps! I'm excited!
  • Catching up on Pretty Little Liars once I got off work.
  • Going to eat dinner with my roommate.
  • Going to the BCM.
  • Doing my stats homework at like 11 o'clock at night!

 The leader of the BCM
spoke this really amazing quote 
that he had heard from someone else.
It went something along the lines of,
"If God answered every prayer that you prayed yesterday,
how many people came to know Christ?"
That just kind of hit me.
Because,
I pray for family, people,
healing, and stuff,
but I guess I haven't worked in any prayers for saving people.
In my Sunday School class in high school,
we had this challenge.
We had to think of at least one person,
that we knew wasn't saved,
and we had to pray for them for a certain amount of time, and to pray for them to come to the Lord.
I,
of course,
failed at doing that.
However,
the person that I chose to pray for 
was one of my guy friends.
I think,
I'm going to try to start that up again.
I want to try to pray for him every day.
God can work miracles through prayers,
and I want to see what He'll do with mine.


So in Walk 24,
the Israelites are really whiny.
Like,
really whiny.
Moreover,
unbelievably,
they started to forget
or ignore
or whatever you want to call it,
they started to complain just days after their God had saved them.
Really?
But,
I guess we all do that.
We all experience great moments of God,
whether through an answered prayer,
a blessing,
a camp or retreat,
etc.,
and within a short bit after the awesome experience
we forget how we felt.
We forget the feeling we got 
when we saw God do something awesome.
We shouldn't ever forget what God has done for us,
or what He's doing for us too.
God provided food, 
water,
and protection 
to the Israelites when they were in the desert.
If he can solely take care of that many people,
imagine how He can bless you 
if you rely on Him
like the Israelites were forced to learn how to rely on Him.
