Where Do We Go From Hear? (no typo!)

Well, we are closing on our house Wednesday at 3:30pm. What a ride! We are also moving on Friday morning to Rochester Hills. Thursday night I will pick up 2, 26ft trucks, well one is a 24ft truck, but we will be out of Bay City, Friday sometime. We will miss all of our relationships here.

When Moses stood and stared at the Red Sea, I am sure that he thought in the "flesh" for a moment, "God, what the heck are we going to do? The Egyptians are barreling down the hills at us and the Red Sea is splashing us in the face. Where do we go from here?" We have all seen the movie of the great Moses in his multi-striped robe facing his rod out over the water. Moses heard God every step of the way. He, in a sense had his ears pressed up next to the lips of God. From time to time you need to know specific direction in your life. I believe Moses received that same type of direction in places like the cleft of the rock, like scripture says. Or at other times on the backside of the desert tending sheep. Either way, they are places of potential lonliness, or at least solitude. No matter how you slice it, it stinks. Tending sheep stinks quite literally, but spending the night in the mountains in some cave isn't so appealing either! Sometimes the places that God speaks to you are difficult, hard places, where you say, like David in the Bible said, God, I can't see you, feel you, or touch you, but I know you are there!

God allows those times in your life for you to press into Him. He wouldn't let you go through anything that you couldn't handle. Here is good news. If you are facing a giant, (not the boring Christian movie), it must mean you can handle it. He is always with you for the purpose of helping you, and to show Himself strong, so man cannot say that he did 'this' by his own hand. Ok, I have to say it, Wise Men Still Seek Him!!! Enough.
