So yesterday I taught the P5 and 6 about flexibility..using Barak and Deborah's story..in which case, Barak was the inflexible one because he wasn't flexible and didn't really want to obey God..but honestly, if I could teach it again, I would tell the kids that sometimes we are ALL like Barak..and they don't have to beat themselves up for being like him..cause it feels kind of hypocritical that I'm telling them it's wrong to have such an attitude when I'm sometimes like that also..
The thing is, if we are so perfect, we wouldn't need God.
Just a few moments ago, I caught myself thinking of a "what if"..and realised how similar it is to yesterday's story..actually Barak didn't want to obey God because he was afraid..actually come to think of it..that sounds a lot like Jonah..who ran away haha well the Bible is full of characters who are real..and who are just like us. Deep inside, we humans haven't changed much since the start of time..have we haha we still have our fears and insecurities..and we all want to be loved.
But anyway, my "what if" wasn't to doubt something God commanded me to do..there are just some things I'm not sure about cause I'm not sure what God thinks of it! Oh well!
