God took me out of my Egypt 7 years ago but there is still traces of Egypt in me. I love the fact that the Israelites were not going in circles in the desert for God to truly see what was in their hearts. I mean, imagine yourself going around in stinkin’ circles for 40 years. Year, after year, after year. Tell you what, some junk that you may have hidden in your heart will start surfacing. God is God and He knows everything so for the Israelites to go in circles in the desert was not for God to know what was in the people’s hearts but rather a chance for the people to realise what is lurking in their own hearts.
As previously mentioned, God has been working on me and it has been a while now. I have own of those tempers and anger that brings embarrassment to my own self haha. Being totally honest now so please don’t shout me down! It comes out the most when i am playing either a video game, board game or sport (ESPECIALLY sports haha. The 07′ and 08′ OCC baseball team will agree haha.) I’ve come to the place in my life where i can identify it and deal with it when it comes up but it wasn’t always this way. It was hard and the reality is that it’s still very hard. I have to fight daily so that anger does not rise up. I’m just sharing this because this volleyball group on Tuesday is doing a pretty good job at bring out what truly is in my heart and praise God, though i still struggle with it a bit that it is an encouragement to my self to truly see how far i have already made it!
What is in YOUR heart?
