One never knows!

I couldn't help but think about the Israelites as they were wandering in the desert. God sent a cloud over the tabernacle as a sign to them. When the cloud was lifted they were to pack up camp and move, but as long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle they were to remain in camp. "At the Lord's command they encamped, and at the Lord's command they set out."

I again this morning sit in my sunroom, (my favorite place in the morning) I look around the house, look out through all the windows into our backyard with the lush green grass from all the rain, lovely breeze blowing in the windows, the sound of a wind chime, the quiet breeze of the trees, the sound of the Mourning Dove and other birds and look at the beautiful blue sky above. It is so peaceful to me!

But, God may be calling me to give it all up. To pack up and move what is "comfortable". With the circumstances that we are in we will probably lose our house. My womanly nesting hates the thought of moving. I love creating a warm and cozy place for my family. I think that most women love that. Yet, I hear how the Israelites just up and moved camp at the Lord's command. Their obedience is an example for me to follow. I'm not wandering around in the dessert having to follow all the rules and regulations that they had. I can pray to Jesus - direct - he hears my prayers and reminds me that he has my life. He has a place for us to live, somewhere - yet unknown to me.

"Trust me" he says! If he takes care of the birds of the air will he not also take care of me (us). God is bigger than a mortgage, than where I live...etc. His love and tenderness doesn't come in the form of a house. It is in our hearts - that is where Jesus lives.

So with His help I will continue to walk in obedience to Him. Lord, speak to me, direct our next steps so that we are walking in the direction that you want us to continue to go. Keep our eyes fixed on you.
