Limited space

Gods of limited space. 

The enemy reasons, “Their gods are gods of the hill country. That’s why they were stronger than we were…. We should fight with them on the plain; and we will certainly be stronger than they” (1 Kings 20:23).

Contained areas. Hills or plains. Mountains or valleys. These are where gods rule. Or so they think.

But the Arameans soon find out. This God is different.

Following

Leaving Egypt, God’s people learn His way.

They camp. And set out. At His command. In designated, orderly formation. (Numbers 9:18,23)

Following the Lord.

Night watch

Night watch. Our God neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121). 

And sometimes He wakes us in the night. To watch and pray. 

I remember when the two emails arrived. One after the other. To our inbox in Karachi.

Same time. Same message. Traveling across the world. From opposite sides of the United States.
