In this desert / Angel eyes

Called...

Obeys...

Wanders lost...

How many times have we seen this same mountain?

Once at least, perhaps more?

God has a plan for each of us, tasks that we are destined to do in the kingdom and must train for.

And each time we fail to learn the lesson, in time, we'll face the same mountain again and again and again until we learn what we need to.

I remember the last time things looked like this.

Called, obeyed...

then distracted, shattered and scattered. Oh how easily we forget.

Focus, seek, listen, obey... For God still sees that hand lifted up, and that wavering voice that said I'm here lord, send me.

Judges 6:11-16
11 Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
13 Gideon said to Him, “O my lord,[a] if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”
14 Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?”
15 So he said to Him, “O my Lord,[b] how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”
16 And the LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.”
