Here we go again...

A dear friend read to me an excerpt from Exodus this morning, it told of Moses complaining to God about the Isrealites grumbling. Saying it was not his responsibility and that the people were getting on his nerves. God the Father walked with him and provided him a way out by asking him to appoint 70 elders to help manage the people. The point of the story is that God is big enough to handle all of our problems even when we take out our frustration on Him. Moses may not have handled the situation very well or with maturity but God still came through for him and provided a way out. I don't enjoy feeling overwhelmed. It sucks. A lot. But there are times and situations in life that feel overwhelming. I think God does that on purpose. A source of endless amusement it also forces all of us to the uncomfortable reality that we can't do life alone. I seem to have forgotten this lesson because the Lord has spent this week reteaching it to me. This is like when you say you love your parents but you are finding it hard to like them. God as my Father is something that I would never change but when it is lesson time, like any child, learning sucks. Not sucks, but it forces me to do something that is hard and that I don't know if I will be successful. God please give me the strength to grow in this and be a light to those around me as I learn.
