Today’s Most Important Challenge is…
- Graciously serving those
- Whose problems I see
- As self-inflicted
Immanuel Approach Memo
Continued from Presence
I am… unmirrored.
The foreign land
We had seen
As dangerous and beautiful
Was really our own
My tribesmen
Who had attacked me
For building an altar
Were driven
By the same fear
As me
Not the fear
That our children
Would forget God
Or even
That we would forget Him
But that God Himself
Might forget
Would forget
Had already forgotten
And would punish
Us
Isn’t that
The true root
Of all earthly fears?
Isn’t that
The true root
Of all earthly fears?
I look for Jesus.
He is smiling
Like the sun
He says:
“I AM always with you
But you must learn to see Me
In the hearts
Of those you war with
So you can enjoy
Being with Me”
We return to earth.
But we still shine
No longer elders
But princes
Brothers
Truth-tellers
Walking with Jesus
Who winks
And says:
“There’s one more thing…”
To be concluded
Reflection
I feel…
- Foolish
- Self-deceived
- Unnecessarily divided
- Humbled
- Restored
- United
- Reconciled
- Peace
Scripture
When Phineas the priest, and the princes of the tribes heard the explanation of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh, they were satisfied.
Joshua 22:30-33 TPT
Phineas son of Eleazar the priest said to them,
“Now we know that Yahweh is among us! Since you have not rebelled against him, you have indeed saved the Israelites from Yahweh’s punishment.”
Then Phineas and the ten princes of the western tribes returned to the land of Canaan and told the people of Israel everything that happened. The outcome pleased the Israelites and they praised God. They spoke no more of going to war against the eastern tribes to destroy the land where they had lived.
