The people of Israel had walked through the middle of the sea on dry land, as the water stood up like a wall on both sides. (Exodus 14: 29, NLT)


Friends had their baby this week . . . a perfect baby . . . perfectly cared for . . . no problems . . . no challenges . . . loved fully and wholly (PS . . . by the Way . . . in my view . . . babies are the happiness of the world). Except not all babies are loved, some babies are forgotten, mistreated, and/or barely tolerated. While it's true, it seems so unfair.

Think about it . . .

Have you ever wondered how life can sometimes be so difficult, I mean . . . really difficult?

Have you ever wondered how you possibly survived the difficulties you faced in the past?

Have you ever wondered how you will manage any difficulties?

Difficulties are a part of living on earth. How we manage difficulties will be determined if we manage our own way or through the presence and power of Christ. He is the Way through all things in life.

Have you ever wondered if Christ Jesus can really be true?

Have you ever wondered if the presence of Christ has really has made this world different?

While walking through the middle of the sea on dry ground could be considered the most amazing experience . . . connecting with the presence of God through a baby in a manager is out of this world . . . downright . . . unbelievable. Have you ever wondered how the Israelites felt after they walked through the sea on dry ground? There must have been a time of silence . . . there are no words to describe the moment a soul is delivered from the pressures of oppression.

Christ came to make a Way out of the darkness of oppression into the light of liberation.

Take time to wonder . . .

Agree to accept the freedom of Christ within your mind, heart, and soul.

Breathe.

Celebrate the wonder.

Learning with you to take time to wonder about life and learn about the power of Christ,
Shalom,
Kerrie
