Which Way?


We have trouble grasping God because He works in ways we do not expect and cannot understand.  In Egypt, Pharoah’s way was to use the blood, sweat, and tears of other human beings to build gigantic structures that were brazen monuments to himself.  God’s way was to part the Red Sea, leading a people to freedom, then letting the waters flow right back to their previous spot, the only evidence left being written on the hearts of those who had been released into a new land with a heck of a story to tell.

We will be forever changed when we stop to ponder who this surprising God is who pursues us with His endless love and fights relentlessly for our good.  None of us would have ever come up with the way He has gone about it.  It’s breathtakingly beautiful, pure love in motion.
