Going Around That Mountain--Again?

On Sunday our pastor asked me to teach the Ladies Bible Study in November. My daughter-in-law, who regularly teaches the study, needs to prepare for their trip to China. I said "yes," and then afterwards wondered why I so quickly responded.

Since I was told that I could teach on any subject I wanted, I chose the title, "Why do I keep going around that mountain?" We are going to look at the Israelites who wandered in the wilderness. God gave them so much and yet they continued to grumble and complain. There is something to learn from everything in the Bible, and although there are many lessons we could learn from the stories of God's chosen people, I am going to focus in on what relevance their wandering has on each one of us. A journey that should have taken them days ending up taking them 40 years. What things in our lives are we battling over and over requiring us to take another trip around that mountain? That will be an interesting question to answer.
