I was just reading Nehemiah nine, and it hit me again. \u00a0Our faith is not based on miracles or on demonstrations of God’s power. \u00a0The Jews had that. \u00a0They saw plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, they saw the power of God, and even with that the first chance they had they turned away. \u00a0It explains why I’m so quick to forget what God has done for me, and how He has provided. \u00a0It’s human nature. \u00a0Look at the miracles Jesus did and how people disbelieved Him. \u00a0A reflection of my life magnified to a nation. \u00a0People really don’t change, and we’re all basically the same. \u00a0How I chuckle, when I hear about how tough we have it these days, how bad things have gotten. \u00a0Don’t be silly. \u00a0Things haven’t changed that much. \u00a0Sin is sin. \u00a0The next generation is struggling with the same sin my generation struggles with, same as my parents generation struggles with, all the way back to Adam. \u00a0I’m rambling. \u00a0I’ll stop now.<\/p>\n
