Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. 2 Peter 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

Unless our faith is tested we don't know if we will hold up loyally. Jesus was tested and learned obedience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebrews 5: 8 Though He were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which He suffered; 9 And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him.

In fact, I am inclined to grumble like the children of Israel in the wilderness with whom God was displeased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
