Feb 4: I love my church- Real life: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Helping someone be self-sufficient is a goal that parents aim for as their children age. We want our kids to be able to care for themselves and not need to lean on us for everything. Yet scripture makes clear that we are designed for relationship, for leaning on each other, for trusting and loving others.
After Moses’ initial obedience leads to greater disappointment and pain, Moses and Israel must wrestle with their discouragement and confusion. God reminds them that formation often happens when faith must survive in between promise and fulfillment.
At the burning bush, Moses discovers that God often calls people in the middle of ordinary, hidden seasons. The “in-between” becomes holy ground when God reveals that His presence—not our readiness—is what prepares us for what comes next.
