Today’s Most Important Challenge is…

  • Getting my value and identity
  • From Christ alone

Immanuel Approach Memo

In a galaxy far, far away

I am… dueling my nemesis.

I think he killed my father
But it turns out
He is my father

And the one I love
Is actually my sister

I lose
And tumble through space

I look for Jesus.

He swoops in
With a spaceship
And scoops me up

I stare at Him accusingly.

He grins
With His mouth
But His eyes
Betray compassion

“Buckle up!”

He says

“I know you have
Many questions
But this is not
The time and place
For answers”

We begin to warp.

“For that”

He continues

“We must travel…”

“Into your past!”

To be continued

Reflection

I feel…

  • Betrayed
  • Disoriented
  • Maimed
  • Rescued
  • Carried
  • Paradoxical

Scripture

Joshua assembled all Israel’s tribes at Shechem. He summoned all the leaders—elders, judges, and officials of Israel—and they all stood in the presence of God.
Then Joshua said to them all:
“This is what Yahweh the God of Israel has to say to you: ‘Long ago, your forefathers—Terah, father of Abraham and father of Nahor—lived beyond the Euphrates and worshiped other gods.
I took your father Abraham from that land and led him through all the land of Canaan. I gave him a son, Isaac, and through Isaac I multiplied his descendants. I gave Isaac two sons, Jacob and Esau.
To Esau and his descendants I gave the hill country of Edom as their inheritance, while Jacob and his family went down to Egypt.”‭‭

Joshua‬ ‭24‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭TPT‬‬
