I am often asked where I find my inspiration for sermons - this is one place. I believe God speaks to me daily and this is a place where you can look over my shoulder as I write some notes to myself as we journey towards Sunday . . .

Day 59 a note from God: Numbers Numbers 31-32
Moses said to the Gadites and Reubenites, “Should your fellow Israelites go to war while you sit here?"
Numbers 32:6 NIV
IT began a long time ago . . .
What is it? The desire to sit in the back and enjoy the sights while eveyone else does the work.
The Israelites had many battles to fight as they entered the promised land, but some wanted to stay where they were to enjoy the land at the edge.
How often have you left the work to others?
How often have you resisted change and wanted to stay in the place you were?
Read the rest of the story . . .
I still wonder what blessings were missed by those left behind. Sure they went to fight the battles, but they were not "all in" as the saying goes.
How about you? Are you all in?
