The Journey continues… Many of us have an expectation that problems, troubles, and disputes are a sign of ill health. The Bible teaches something different. Given our flaws and inclinations (self over others; away from the good) and our pursuit of maturity, integrity and wisdom, the Bible prepares us to expect trouble. Job (5:7) puts it this way; "For man is born for trouble, as sparks fly upward." However, many people at the first sign of trouble conclude that the only reasonable solution is to run. Jesus faced disputes from those who opposed him (no surprise there), within the group who followed him (some surprise) and directly from some who followed him (big surprise). Today, Pastor Dave Marttunen continues his series titled 'The Journey', following Moses and Israel in Exodus 18. The theme for this message is God's provision for your troubles.
