I was reading the Bible with my son who is my deep thinking and stopped me and asked “mom so do they ever learn? This is like when God freed them from Egypt and then they forgot to worship God or be grateful. It’s always the same Because they’re just doing this over and over. God says to listen and they don’t and then it’s hard and they get b mad at God.”
I was like yup and that’s one I’d the many many reasons we have Jesus sweet babes. It’s so funny that even with this obvious pattern of following God, all the history, all the proof I still personally find myself in the same pattern somehow.
That reminds me of Nehemiah 4:17. They were doing the work of rebuilding and were constantly on guard against attack. Rather than only fight or only work they did both. They used one had to work and the other to hold a weapon against the enemy. It reminds me of that coexistence of being in battle at the same time as doing God’s work. Also, if I’m understanding correctly, they had a horn that they carried so if they had to fight they could blow the horn and help would come.
Anywho, just something that popped into my head 🙂
