Traveling to the horizon

Exodus 7.8 - end    Exode 7.8 - fin

Psalm 32      Hebrews 11.1-16    John 11.17-27
Psaume 32   Hébreux 11.1-16     Jean 11.17-27

I have a problem with all these plagues and I suspect that Moses did too. He had heard God talking to him from a burning bush and had returned to Egypt as instructed. Now God tells Moses to  go to show his God given gifts
to Pharaoh but that Pharaoh would not listen. Why bother?

Sometimes things just do not seem to go as we expect. Sometimes even though we think we are going in the correct direction we find obstacles. Sometimes our world just seems to be full of frogs and
snakes and the water undrinkable.

There is a Promised Land out there over the horizon.




As I travel through the bad and good, keep me traveling the way I should;
where I see no way to go, you'll be telling me the way, I know:

And it is from the old I travel to the new. Keep me travelling along with you.

Give me courage when the world is rough, keep me loving though the world is tough;
leap and sing in all I do, keep me traveling:

And it is from the old I travel to the new. Keep me travelling along with you.
