What really is my desire? The Lord or my comfort? The Lord or my easy life? It really is a good question, and very fair question. Would we rather stay home in a land that is sweet, but headed for disaster, or go with the Lord to a place of barrenness, and yet to experience Him and His blessings? That's tough. If you are like me, you want to know how it is going to play out, but the Lord just looks at me and smiles and says, "you have to choose." Comfort or Him? Easy or Him? "but now, behold, i am freeing you today from the chains which are one your hands. If you would prefer to come with me to Babylon, come along, and I will look after you;" Babylon is going to be miserable, but it is where God's blessings are going to be. So...we choose God over everything, even when it doesn't make sense...because He wants us!
The storm has a bit in its mouth." - C.H. Spurgeon
