  • He won't let you go

    He won't let you go
    Sep 30 2024

    How many of us know deeply that God won't let us go? Moses is reminding the Israelites of this. He reminds them of this after he says that they are going to be so far. They will be worshipping other gods and be scattered, but he says they will seek God. They will seek God with all their heart and being. When we seek God like this, then we can deeply take in that God does not let go! No matter how far away we feel, He can pluck us out of exile and into His loving arms!

  • Live with more peace, boundaries with our thoughts

    Live with more peace, boundaries with our thoughts
    Sep 24 2024
    Reuben and Gad are worried about what will happen to their livestock, and they don't want to cross the Jordan into the land of milk and honey. The land they were promised by God. Moses is concerned that their complaints will affect the Israelites. What we say affects not only ourselves, but also those around us. We can have boundaries with what we say and with what we think. Our thoughts affect our feelings and our actions. They need to be rooted in God's faithfulness. Then when we have worries and negative thoughts we can turn to God and pray about these things. We can pray for him to ease our minds. Through out everything God is with us and provides for us, what a gift! A gift that can give us peace.

  • In times of uncertainty, Hope

    In times of uncertainty, Hope
    Sep 16 2024
    I talk about how God cannot break His word. He does what He says, and we can too. We can trust Him. It is impossible for him to lie- Hebrews 6:18 and He is our safe and secure anchor. We are made in His image- Genesis 1:27. His character need to affect our character. Thinking about a loyal person in the Bible, the book of Ruth came to my mind. We talk about this book, and the character of Ruth. In times of uncertainty, we can put our trust and our hope in God.

    Dealing With Trust Issues
    Sep 9 2024
    Do we trust God? Do we trust others? God shows us how good He is- and we can have deep trust in Him. When we have this trust, we can let others in and do the things God is guiding us to do. He can heal our trust issues, no matter how deep they are.

  • Dealing With Uncertainty

    Dealing With Uncertainty
    Sep 2 2024
    Some people are assembling against Moses. They are confronting him and aren't happy with how things are going. It is a hard time, and some people wonder- am I doomed to perish? We aren't in the land of milk and honey, and we are struggling. They are living in fear of what is going to happen. Even when we are surrounded by uncertainty, we have the gift of being able to turn to God. We never have to live in uncetainty because we have God no matter what. He is our certainty.

  • Focus on the Good

    Focus on the Good
    Aug 26 2024
    How many times do we focus on what is going wrong? On the hard things that we feel like can't change. The Israelites are focused on the obstacles in Canaan, and are filled with fear. Caleb and Joshua remind them of the positive. We need to remind our brains and hearts of the positive, and that no matter what we can focus on things above. We can focus on God.

  • What Burdens Are We Carrying?

    What Burdens Are We Carrying?
    Aug 19 2024
    We continue in Numbers 11. The Israelites are complaining, and focusing on things they are lacking, and God gets angry, Moses gets upset. How often are we like this- and we are focuses on things we are lacking in life? God helps Moses and releases the burden he is carrying. We are reminded that when we feel weighed down, stressed and like things are out of our control, we need to gives it to God. He cares for us, and so often we are focuses on things that we need to be praying about. When we go to God and surrender we are reminded of the freedom we have in Christ. No matter what is weighing us down, we can turn to Him.

  • God, What Do I Do?

    God, What Do I Do?
    Aug 12 2024
    What do we do when we face uncertainty? Do we lean on our own understanding? We learn from Moses, to ask God. Ask God when you don't know what to do. Moses does this in Numbers, and he waits for an answer from God. He knows that he needs God, and wants to be guided by Him. It take humility to ask God, because we are acknowledging we don't know it all. We can't do it ourselves, but with God we can! We guides us and answers us, we just need to take the step of turning to Him.
