"Come, you who are blessed by the Lord", he said.
"Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels."
Genesis 24:31 NIV
Echoes
Genesis 24 is full of echoes.
A servant is sent from a far away land.
He's sent on a mission
To find a bride
And here is an invitation.
Come in.
I've prepared a place for you
Jesus had a clear goal
God went ahead
He prayed for success
(He prayed a lot!)
He acknowledged the problems!
Had a good plan
And is celebrating success. Death has been conquered, and the restoration has begun, and He has invited us to be part of it.
Why are you standing out there?
I've prepared the house for you
Just come in and join me!
Echoes of God's Big Story!
And one day we will see fully what we get glimpses of today, and all that is broken will be renewed :)

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
