A Better Plan.
MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️
Deuteronomy really speaks to me. So many scriptures about being rescued out of Egypt and being brought into a land of rest. So many scriptures about REMEMBERING what the Lord did…how he used miraculous signs and wonders and his strong hand to rescue.
He did this exact thing for me (us) in 2008.
I’ve told the story before, so I won’t go into all of it again….but, I always likened it to being in a burning building and not really even knowing it. Floor upon floor crashing upon themselves as it begins to topple down…and right before the moment of complete destruction…the Lord SNATCHED us out of it.
We were literally “in Egypt”…loving Jesus but also fully immersed in the world and all that it says is valuable. Building businesses. Busting a move. Buying the things.
You know…keepin’ up with the Joneses.
It’s a trap. One we didn’t even know we were in.
Until. He rescued us.
Then, we couldn’t unsee what we saw. We couldn’t go back to what was. We couldn’t keep going in the same direction.
So off to that great and terrifying wilderness and unknown we went.
Has it all been easy?! HECK NO.
Has it all been worth it?! HECK YES.
If He’s trying to rescue YOU…don’t resist. Total upheaval and total change is not for the faint at heart…but He can be trusted and he always, always, always has a better plan.
