Susan LaffertyMake obedience a burden. Something to dread. Avoid. That’s what the world tries to do.
In today’s idol listings, personal fulfillment and independence rise up. Insisting we not be tied down. Or restricted by God’s commands.
“Too many requirements,” the world says.
God hears.
Sees.
And makes a way through the
desert.
When there seems to be no way.
A cup of water. In debilitating heat, it can mean survival.
A large clay pot sat beside our gate. Full of water. With cup attached. Ready to meet the need of any passerby.
Unrelenting sun and desert wind meant dehydration was never far away.
The clay kept the water cool. Even on hot days.
