Not Like Moses EP108

From the transcript...

We ended up turning into a restaurant. Somebody else turned in, I turned in behind them, and then somebody was backing out in their parking spot. So it hung us out—I was sitting sideways in traffic. They stopped for me.

Then I got to a four-way stop. The truck was straight across from me, but the intersection wasn’t a perfect square—it was kind of offset. The truck across from me started coming through. If he had his blinker on, I didn’t see it. I just thought he was going straight—he probably didn’t have one on.

So I went right, and he laid on his horn. I mean, he was about to T-bone me. He did hit me. He wasn’t too happy with my driving. He should’ve had his blinker on… well, if he did, I didn’t see it. I don’t know.

“That’s where I used to live, James.” “Really?” “We should stop and remodel that house. Take some pictures, add some commentary.”

We’re at an All-Star. I remember one time right here—Sally said something to me, and I reached back and slapped her. As soon as I did it, I thought, What have I done? From that day on…

And that’s how we often think God is—like He reacts to our mess the same way. “Oh yeah, I’m gonna get you.”

But the more I hear my Father’s heart… the more I hear His voice… I realize I can leave all that stuff out there.

Just sit down and rest in the relationship that Jesus has forged for us.

Not to mention—it all started before time, in Christ. It did. And time is just revealing it.

This unfolding plan of God that brings Him great delight… Yes, and much pleasure.

I do love that language in Ephesians 1—the unfolding plan.

It’s reconciliation. It’s a bringing back.
