10.
So friend, I'm wondering how long it took you to get here. Anyway, not the point. I've been reading the pentateuch lately (two things. 1: which recess of the mind remembered what that was called? 2: which recess remembered how to spell it right the first time?), and when I read the first few chapters of Exodus, a thought struck me, 'hey, that does sound a little like him'. As I was reading it (and please remember, this is my interpretation, which has a much higher chance of being inaccurate than accurate), I kept thinking about Moses being an emotional man. At least, that's how it seems to me. I can't help but think about the link between young Moses and you. Moses had a habit of running. If life was a race, he strikes me as the sort who'd chiong. Who was impulsive, who acted on emotion, and who was ready to run fast, to chiong. He killed the Egyptian in an act of emotion, on impulse, and he went all the way on it, burying the body in the sand afterward. After killing the Egyptian, again, emotion, impulse, action and follow through, where he ran to Midian. When he sat down by a well, and some shepherds were harnessing innocent people, so Moses felt emotion, acted on impulse, and followed through. He came to the rescue of the people and then went on to water their camels. That's follow through. And when I read chapter 3, I keep thinking about how God speaks. Here was Moses, emotive, impulsive Moses, and God met him. And God speaks in chapter 3 in promises. He tells Moses about past promises, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and makes new ones, about what will happen in the future. And this is my prayer for you for camp. For the whole of the next few months in fact. To Moses' shifty, emotive-ness, God was the Rock, the promise giver that he needed. You've said it yourself, you're impulsive. And emotive. And that's what it seems to me, once you've decided on a course of action you will follow through. What I'm desiring for you is that you'll run the course He leads you in. I need you friend. There's the harvest field you know we're called to and I can't do this without you. I need your help. I do friend. So get on the right course, align your path correctly, and come along side me kay?
