It it me hard.
Take them back to SLAVERY! No TLC back there. There was lack of food, provision, violence, beatings, death, disease....
How many times do I ask to go back to something like a bad job or in my case a house I have sold. I can get gripped with fear, fear of the unknown and think well staying here is what I know so it has to be better.
Does it have to be better?
How many times do you catch yourself complaining about a relationship or job and stay in it for fear of having nothing or no one else?
Here is my deal. I prayed the move would happen in the right time. When it was time Lord release us.
You are probably saying but you are not suffering like the Israelites were. In my life, a house to big is a waste. In your life a job that is making you literally miserable (sick even) or a relationship that is not edifying to the Lord is just "Slavery".
You may be thinking, comparing these things to slavery is pretty extreme.
I can't tell you in the moment of reading this story to these kids it hit me like a brick, I catch my self complaining and asking Why? I prayed and it has been a journey, but it is time to move on. It was clear!
I am praying all the scriptures that say for me to not be anxious for nothing.
I repented for the grumbling.
Now my mind is steadfast on the future and I have peace.
God has given me a block of some sort to not go to grumbling, complaining, thinking, asking why. Does that mean I have a picture of the future with all the answers. NO! But I do have peace and I have been sleeping well.
I have my Lord and Savior (and family of course). But I have given up the Stinking thinking.
I have stopped trying to figure it all out.
I am trusting God daily as I get up, I say, here we go again Lord. More packing and purging! He says ok come on, I will give you the love and strength and I reply Ok, Love you too!
Please pray about everything. It makes life better, more peaceful.
