4/10 IAM: Deserted (Rocking 1 of 4)

Today’s Most Important Challenge is…

Immanuel Approach Memo

I am… an uncrowned king

Leading my people through a desert
To the promised land

But…
We have no water

There is a spring
High up on a mountain
(Or so we’ve been told)
But it is clogged
By an enormous rock

Everyone expects me
Needs me
Demands me
To strike it with my sword
(Or so I imagine)

Instead…

I look for Jesus.

He is the rock
I could strike Him

He is the spring
Blood and water would flow

Jesus looks at me.

He would forgive me
But it would be wrong

Yet what choice do I have?

The same one
I do
Every day

Sacrifice Jesus
Or sacrifice my Self

I sigh.

I climb onto the rock
Lay down on my back
And stab my Self through the heart

To be continued

Reflection

I feel…

  • United with Christ
  • Joy
  • Gratitude
  • Pain
  • Slain

Scripture

“Look, a righteous king is coming! And honest princes will rule under him. Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a parched land.”‭‭

Isaiah‬ ‭32‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬
