WASTED SLAVERY ?
WASTED WILDERNESS ?
WASTED SILENCE ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WASTED ON OUR OWN UNDERSTANDING !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
400 years
Suffering in slavery<\/p>\n\n\n\n
40 years
Wasted in Wilderness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
400 years
Sitting in silence, again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
40 days
Tempted “in the wilderness [wilderness ? again]”
For the very purpose—“led into the wilderness, to be tempted . . . “<\/p>\n\n\n\n
–<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We read God’s story with God’s people.
We can’t explain some commands, we can’t answer some questions—we can try, but we come up short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shall we expect anything different with God’s people today ?
We have become so accustomed to explanations for everything and solutions to fix everything we find uncomfortable—that we forget God is above it all and greater than our “understanding”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WASTED TIME depending on our understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can we trust Him completely, in everything, even when we don’t understand ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not (DO NOT) lean on your own understanding.
In all (ALL) your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
