There are some times where it is natural to cry.
The loss of a loved one.
A grazed knee.
Getting busted off by the biggest fish you've ever hooked.
The final episode of M.A.S.H..
All understandably, moments when breaking down in a crescrendo of tears is forgiveable.
Not knowing how to build a table.
The inability to grasp the basic principles of using a map.
Not having any coconuts left.
Confusing gravy, sauce and jus.
All understandably, dubious moments of crisis, where tears making a difference is vastly unlikely.
Yet we have TV shows that do little other than induce these moments of hysteria.
Side note: Classic album. Google young'uns, google.
Another bout of tears tonight.
I'm sorry silly unreal Reality shows. I will be mocked no longer.....
Yes, it has taken me this long!
Until the next season of Survivor at least :D
Deuteronomy 26
Still not in Canaan yet.
*face palms*
26 chapters and they're still getting ready.
Almost now.
Almost.
Can't rush this stuff.
Nor should they.
Getting things right has a great reward.
v18-19 "And the LORD has declared today that you are a people for his treasured possession, as he has promised you, and that you are to keep all his commandments,
and that he will set you in praise and in fame and in honour high above all nations that he has made, and that you shall be a people holy to the LORD your God, as he promised."
God wants His people to be special.
To stand out.
Good things come hard.
Because good things are worth doing well.
If it was easy, questions about God's sovereignty could be raised.
Impossible feats occured.
And recognising God through sacrifice, cleanliness, obedience, separation and dedication seems a small price, standing on the border of this new land.
Sometimes patience can cost what God can offer.
Having to wait could mean taking second best if it comes by earlier.
If you had the two options to choose from at the start, and you would take the best then. Why differ based on the time or work involved?
If you know both outcomes in the first place.
Maybe that's the problem?
Knowing all the outcomes.
Maybe.
