And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Deuteronomy 8:2-3 (ESV)

But the LORD has promised that none who are evil will live peacefully that abiding peace is only possible when we are in right relationship with Him.
NEEDING MORE OF CHRIST
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. Deep in the heart of every true disciple of Jesus is a deep longing for more of God.

But all things should be done decently and in order.
BUT GOD....BUT NOW
“But God” brings hope when we can’t see a way through.
“But God” means ashes aren’t the end of our story.
And “But God” says God, not our circumstances, always gets the last word.
FAINT, YET PURSUING
It is only pride that tells us that we are not making the progress we ought to make.
''And Gideon came to the Jordan and crossed over, he and the 300 men who were with him, exhausted yet pursuing.'' Judges 8:4 (ESV)
