HIDE

Ah, the perfect solution to life at times. Just find somewhere you can avoid facing problems.

Not that we want to admit it you understand. Nope that would be terrible. If we did that we might have to admit that wasn't always a good or bad thing.

Really, hiding isn't that big of a deal if you aren't hiding from your problems. There are times when a retreat helps to shut out the distractions.

It is to hide from things that keep you from seeing the lord as he would desire. But sometimes we don't accept it that way.

What a said time it is for some. We don't accept that is okay on some occasions. Just not how we choose to embrace the facts.

There is such a difference between hiding out of fear and hiding for good reasons. But even if you truly do have a good reason, hiding doesn't normally inspire respect in others.

God of course is more concerned about our obedience. Which a slant on it can be are we willing to endure the attitude of others if nobody believes the truth?

Ah, now that is the hard part to accept. Just so difficult to obey a voice when it leads us where we don't like to go.

God did send a whole nation into a wilderness to serve his purposes and out of the comfort of their environment, even though they were slaves. But the trip into the desert was hardly an easy journey. There were all kinds of hardships.

The question is, are we willing to journey where lead if it doesn't always seem to make sense. Can we venture into places where we must hide from what we don't need in the first place.

God had to hide his people from the land of sin till they were ready for the challenges for other things. But they didn't always see that.

And neither do we. The truth is we are human and that means we are not perfect in life. There are times when that means we don't have to be unafraid to admit we are not able to fight the world by ourselves.

And that means we are willing to actually able to spend time accepting God's wisdom in sending us places we need to go.

Providing we listen to his voice and not our ego. Many do so stumble from such moments. Too bad we don't always appreciate that is how it is when we don't work according to his purposes.
