gg, God

God's pretty cool. I like the part where He sends venomous snakes to bite the Israelites because they were complaining. :)

Okay. Seriously, though. I felt two things when I did my QT today.
1. When we face hardship, if we seek to dedicate it to God, He gives us victory. The Israelites were attacked and captured by the Canaanites, and they probably felt really defeated and were really scared. But they promised God that if He delivered them through it, they would destroy the land completely, aka dedicate it to God. It says in the interpretation portion that the Israelites experienced "wonderful victory." :) I thought of Albany High when I read that. We are walking through unknown grounds, and we don't know if we will be "captured" like the Israelites, but if we dedicate the school to God, and if we dedicate ourselves to work towards the victory, God will grant that to us. He will carry us through it, and the school will belong to no one but God. What a wonderful victory!

2. I was also moved by Moses. Even though he knows he won't be allowed into the Promised Land with the rest of the Israelites, he still has a heart of prayer for his people. When they come to him and plead with him to pray, he prays. This is a really selfless act on his part. How often do we pray for people around us that need prayer? After Moses prays for the Israelites and against the venomous snakes, God tells Moses to make a bronze snake to cure the snake bites, and he does it. How often do we pray for people and then do something about it? Moses wasn't perfect, but he had a good heart, and he was a selfless leader. We should be like Moses~
