Moses took a forty-story fall. As we pick up the biblical account, he’s a heavy-hearted, bruised-and-battered soul who has come to a sudden stop at the bottom. In a matter of mere days, he has stepped off the head of the pyramid as Pharaoh-designate and down to a unkempt, broke fugitive on the backside of Zipville. Living as we do in a product-oriented culture, we like to package our religion too. While there’s little wrong with teaching guidelines that may lead to real, God-given success, there’s something unsound if we neglect to say the system, which must necessarily include times of defeat and failure.
i would not have to go back terribly far on my calendar to revisit a week where I missed the mark-missed the entire target-more than I hit near to the bull’s eye. Naturally you have. What I need to grasp is who erected such a happily-ever-after standard of perfection in the first place? God knows very well we aren’t in a position to provide perfection ; that’s the reason why Jesus, the perfect kid of Our Lord God, graciously died in our place.
that is the reason why He gave us a position of perfect goodness in Him, reminding us against this that our own daily experience will continually fall short. What you and I need is the reminder of the method that leads to times of victory and success. Then, with memories of those golden moments shining in our minds, we’ll learn the way to avoid some of those valleys, or a way to climb out of them more swiftly. That process, I believe, is just as important as the product.
Can you remember Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The showing Heart? In it the killer could not sleep as he kept hearing the thrashing heart of his victim down in his basement.
he was not hearing the victim’s heart, naturally ; he was hearing his very own heart, battering in his chest, reverberating through his skull.
we have proof of that in our own lives. The emotional entanglements created by the aftermath of our own sin can be so devastating that we become physically sick.
We are told he had to leave the room so he could weep. He accepted well one of the reasons they were breaking.
They’d been in the dungeon for a few days, and he knew what that was like. He also knew that when God comes to tap on stooped shoulders and to break a guilty heart, he does not stop with a slight elbow or mild reproof. The long-outstanding bills were coming due for Joseph’s bros. And as their debt rose ever higher before their eyes, they boldly admitted,’We are guilty’.
