thoughts from motherwell, scotland

i was looking though my old journal rereading what God was teaching me this summer, and i was blessed by some notes taken while listening to a calvary pastor from motherwell, scotland on the life of gideon:

the trip from egypt to the promised land only should have taken eleven days but because of disobedience and disbelief it took 40 years! dont let disobedience and disbelief rob you..dont be merely content with having escaped egpyt, step into the abundance God has for you. the failure of israel was that they never made a complete end of their enemies. later they became a hindrance. abundant life comes from being God-centered not self-centered. it was easier for God to get his people out of egypt than to get egypt out of his people.

hope these notes are encouraging...
