Are we doing the hard work of genuine love? Are we settling for second best? Are we satisfied with “peaceably” or are we striving in God’s power to be at peace with each other to the praise of His glorious grace?
Visiting the Garden - Part 2
Visiting the Garden - Part 1
We would have done the very same thing they did. We would have disobeyed God just like them. A little bit earlier in Romans we read that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. A little bit farther along in Romans we read that the wages of sin is death. That means we are all sinners and we will all die as punishment for our sin. That’s bad news. Bad news for everybody.
But there is also Good News. The Good News is that Jesus died for our sin.
God Cares for His Children
God took them right to the place of bitter water even though they were thirsty and couldn’t drink it. Now why do you think He did that? I think it’s because He had something to teach them. He wanted His people to learn that He was a God who cares for them. He wanted them to learn to trust Him even when things looked really bad around them.
Visiting the Wilderness
Having to stay at home every day can be a challenge for some. Sometimes it’s like being in a wilderness. I don’t think God meant for us to live in the wilderness but I do think it’s good to visit the wilderness every once in awhile. Because in the wilderness we can learn things. We can learn things about God and about ourselves. Join us as we dive in to Matthew 4!
