Take Heart
Transcript
God led the Hebrews out of Egypt, and he led them through the Red Sea. Then he instructed them to build a traveling tabernacle. They were about to begin a 40-year road trip, and they would need a reminder to worship.
But think about it: They knew nothing about the years ahead. They expected a straight shot to the Promised Land. While they were fumbling with their suitcases, God helped them pack the one essential—a prompting to worship.
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. If you're on a long detour with no map, take heart—and trust the direction you receive as it comes in your worship. God knows the road . . . and he knows you . . . in the high calling of our daily work.
Hear, O Israel : The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. (Deut. 6:4-5)
