When things get tough, what do we do? Each of us reacts in a different way. The Israelites complained to Moses in the wilderness. Yes they were freed from bondage, but they didn’t like desert food! St Paul writes in his letter to the Romans, “Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his blood, effective through faith. We see these words as good news. Today we focus on God’s abundance and his great love for us.
