The chapter is full of the miracles that Jesus did. Then the last verse ends in a totally unexpected way: "Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region."<br /><br />Jesus was rocking their boats--upsetting the norm. So they asked him to leave. Made me wonder how many times I'd done that.<br /><br />And yesterday, James Greer filled our pulpit and used Deuteronomy 1:6, "The LORD our God said to us at Horeb, "You have stayed long enough at this mountain." Mount Horeb was the "dusty place." And God gave them marching orders---leave the dusty place and go into the Promised Land. In God's grace, He sometimes tells us we've lived in the place of unfulfilled dreams long enough---go on into the land I promised you. Praise God!! I guess the moral to that story is to know what God has promised you.<br /><br />I love your heart, Sarah!! Blessings!Becky Dietzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267931062208654627noreply@blogger.com
