Jehovah Nissi



Jehovah Nissi

Thus his hands were steady until the sunset…

The perfect sunset...Red Sea, Marah, Elim, Wilderness of Sin, Horeb.

Fifty years of fighting my own battles… “God, feel free to step in if I need You.”

Amalekites constantly attack… “Take a break Lord, I got this one.”

I am so ingenious, cunning, strong…
              
     Book end prayers…
                        
                      ritualistic “quiet times”…
                                         
                                       Christian best-sellers…
                                                     
                                                         well-organized retreats and programs…
                                                                                                 
                                                                              sound doctrine and theology…
                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                  small group…
                                                                                                            
 genuine?

The perfect sunset…a distant and forgotten sunset.

Exodus 17 or Numbers 14?

“Well done” or “I never knew you”?

The Lord is my banner…The perfect sunset.



Inspired by...Exodus 17 and Numbers 14...

50+ years of fighting my own battles...The sunset after the storm
