He put up with them.

Acts 13:18, “And for a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness.”

The people – God’s chosen – were led out of Egypt amidst amazing miracles concluding with the complete destruction of their enemies. Within a few weeks they were engaged in idolatry, complaining, rebellion and thanklessness. No wonder Paul says God “put up with them.” The worst was yet to come as the failed to enter into the Promised Land for their unbelief! Let us follow Him, rejoicing in His leading with praise and thanksgiving!

Lord, we thank You that You have overcome the world and lead us in triumph over our enemies!
