The Value of Doing and Resting
How are you doing? What kind of season are you in? Is it time to step away from the routine and soak up a moment with the Father? Or are you flowing with His ideas and putting them into action?

There was a question that was asked in the church a lot when I was growing up that I haven’t heard in some time. A question that would drive conviction straight to the heart. As I think about the question now, I find myself feeling warm to it. What once terrified me is now a well received thought. I guess as my relationship grows with Jesus, it has now become something I yearn for rather than panic about. Something I would love to happen, rather than fear.

Have you ever been in a spiritually connected moment with the Lord when the enemy shows up and throws a bunch of lies and doubts at you? How do you stand firm?
Wow, God is so incredible. The depths of His character are never ending. Think about all the attributes we’ve uncovered in just ten verses of chapter 3 in Exodus. That’s only one itty bitty section of the entire Bible. Even if we did nothing else in life but study God’s character in the Bible, we would never reach the end of who He is. Isn’t that an incredible thought? We should never grow weary of His great word.
The Lord told Moses the place he was standing was holy ground. Moses clearly saw that something was happening. Some powerful deity was calling out to him. Now it’s about to get more personal.
We’ve spent the last several weeks looking into great leaders’ lives. We’ve explored the areas that the Lord worked in them to build up their character and their stories, in order to lead a multitude of other people to Him. Here’s the thing, we’ve looked at a lot of people. Now I want to look to God.
As we come to the end of this series, I find it fitting to explore the life of Jesus; our ultimate humble example.
A prophecy was given 400 years before it was fulfilled. A prophet would come and restore families. He would declare the Lord’s coming. It wouldn’t be Elijah himself, but someone bold and confident like him. One that the people would respect.
Moses and Joshua had quiet beginnings. Elijah had awe-inspiring moments. David had a progressive and highly unexpected one.
Moses’ and Joshua’s wilderness training took place before their leadership did, but Elijah’s was in the middle. What then was the significance of his time in the desert?
