"The enemy is happy with distraction over destruction."

What are you really carrying this week? Bills, diaries and pressures can quietly become our burden.
Today we encountered Moses on Mount Nebo, looking over a land he would never enter, and asked a better question: Lord, what burden have you given me for your Kingdom?

Burdened by mission, not maintenance. 🔥
This week's challenge: pray five minutes today, ten tomorrow, adding five minutes each day. Just ask, "Lord, what burden have you given me?" Then ask again tomorrow.

We want God near enough to comfort us but far enough away that He won't disrupt our lives. That's exactly how we treat idols. The living God won't be kept at arm's length.

Israel stood at the foot of Mount Sinai. Thunder. Lightning. Smoke. A trumpet blast. They stepped back. Moses stepped forward.

Sometimes we do the same. We keep God close enough to feel safe, but far enough away that he won't change too much. A cross on the wall. A safe prayer. A good habit that never really hands anything over.

This Sunday we looked at Exodus 20 and a better way: draw near, hear God speak, and bring what misses the mark to his altar.

At the foot of Mount Sinai, Israel saw thunder, lightning and smoke...

But before we ask who is failing to feed us, there's a harder question. Have we actually come to Jesus to drink?

"Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink." John 7:37

On Sunday we looked at the rock at Rephidim (Exodus 17:1-7) and the two sons (Matthew 21:23-32). Saying yes is not the same as going. Knowledge alone will never quench our thirst. Only the Spirit does.

“Is the LORD among us or not?” Yes, he is. So what rock is he asking you to strike this week?
