Who would you trust in a desert place?

Do you trust God? Do you really trust God? Sometimes, when I read the Bible I come across something that I don't ever recall reading before and it throws things into a sharp perspective.

In Psalm 105:16-17 it says:

When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread, he had sent a man ahead of them Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

Wait... God summoned a famine and broke all supply of bread? That is a deliberate activity on the part of God. He chose to cause a famine. Although the people suffered during the famine, God comforts them by saying "I sent Joseph ahead of you as a slave."

None of those things sound comforting. Famine. Joseph ripped from his family and sold as a slave.

The thing is God has a bigger picture in mind. He has a plan. So, I ask the question again... do you trust God when things look bad? Do you trust that he has a plan?

Let us struggle in our current situation to trust that God is in control and that He has a plan. We may not see it, and we may not understand it... but God has a plan that will bring Him glory.
