Several months ago, God shared with me a precious picture of my relationship with Him. I saw my front porch and rocking chairs. Jesus was sitting in one rocker and I was in the other. I was overwhelmed with the peace, joy, and freedom of simply being in His presence. It is in this place that He often speaks to me. This blog is dedicated to those conversations.

Doubt

Exodus 4 tells the story about Moses and all his many questions to God about whether or not he should go back to Egypt and if he was capable.  As I was reading it this morning, the thought popped into my mind....Moses asked God, "what if they don't believe me?"  This was Moses' reason to not go, but I had to wonder, was this really the reason, or was it more of Moses' own doubt, his own need for proof of God that really was in the way.  Sometimes we like to put the burden of our disobedience to God's calling on others, because you know, maybe they won't accept us, like us, whatever; but maybe it is really more about us than it is about them.  Maybe it is our doubt about God that keeps us from serving in the capacity He has called us too.

Just thoughts that have been rolling around in the brain of mine this morning.
