"So do you think that I can't take care of you?"

These words really hit me this weekend. In Numbers 11, Moses is standing in the middle of the desert with 600,000 men who are starting to get tired of manna. Moses is worn out. God promises them meat for a month and Moses wonders if God sees all these people, even if God killed all the livestock they had it would give them enough for food for maybe a day. So according to the words of the Message, God said "So do you think that I can't take care of you? You'll see soon enough whether what I say happens for you or not."
I see myself looking over Wisconsin, Madison, the hospital, the clinic, etc. desperately gripping them and trying to survive by my own means when God is looking at me saying, "So do you think that I can't take care of you?" Thankfully, He never leaves us. I cannot move too far away from Him. Even in a land where it snows on Easter, He is still here and working out ALL things. May it be all for Him.

Preach it girl! It is amazing to know God can be with you in WI and me in FL and our families in GA and not miss a single beat.

Well said, my dear. Why do people overlook the book of Numbers? I love that book. Your blog post made my Easter. :-)

We must talk soon!
