Numbers 28 and 29; Mark 8

There is much You are bugging me in, I find myself alternately delighted and....well bugged. Can the God of the universe really be that interested in us? I think so and that fact, yes I use the word FACT gives me HOPE even in the midst of shame. I do live in shame and hiding, been called out of it, in it numerous times and now.........what do I DO with that?
Numbers this morning You want to be in everything, thanked for being in everything. Everything is a 'spiritual decision' and then Mark this morning...^34-37 Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for? ³⁸"If any of you are embarrassed over me and the way I'm leading you when you get around your fickle and unfocused friends, know that you'll be an even greater embarrassment to the Son of Man when he arrives in all the splendor of God, his Father, with an army of the holy angels."
I will today follow wherever it is You lead and since You know me You know how very much help and 'buggin' I am gonna need.
