Scripture: Exodus 14:1-31
“You can survive on your own. You can grow strong on your own. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own. Surely that is why, in Jesus’ sad joke, the rich man has as hard a time getting into Paradise as that camel through the needle’s eye because with his credit card in his pocket, the rich man is so effective at getting for himself everything he needs that he does not see that what he needs more than anything else in the world can be had only as a gift. He does not see that the one thing a clenched fist cannot do is accept, even from [God] himself, a helping hand.”
Frederick Buechner
“Great is the rest and gladness of sitting down at our Redeemer’s feet, the door shut and the key turned upon our self-applause.”
Henry Moule
“Trust is the only way we can survive in the wilderness.”
