The love, grace, and mercy of our Heavenly Father shines through in this parable of Jesus. So, then, once we understand it what do we do with that? Live it out!

The history of the Israelites in the wilderness was written down for our instruction. St. Paul calls us to take heed lest we fall for we have not yet attained our heavenly glory, we are still under attack by Satan and our sinful flesh and world. However, God provides the way out.

God's grace calls you to gather together, but we will not.

Our value is found in God's eyes, not the eyes of the world or the flesh.

The temptations which Satan uses against Christ are the same ones you and I experience. What does that teach us, what did Christ do for us, and what can we do?

God Has A Word For That!

We long to remain on top of the mountain, but we must go down into the valley. We must realize that on this earth there is no permanent nor perfect mountaintop. 

Have you practiced for that day?

Try to be like Joseph? Like Jesus? Only if Christ is in you - through him we can even love our enemies and do good to those who hate us.

Which do you prefer? You think life, but we battle to overcome the desires of our flesh which lead to death.
