• Moses went out unto his brethren, and looked on their
       burdens.     Exodus 2:11

  
  

  I can’t count the times I’ve done this and then acted on my own.  Moses looked at their burden and with righteous indignation moved and was driven into blank discouragement. He was certain he was their deliverer.  In the early 90′s I went into decade old wilderness because I saw the burden and acted upon that burden.  I didn’t see it through God’s eyes and move with God’s actions. I remember the moment God showed me in Jeremiah how he was going to cut me off but that a shoot would grow at a later date.  That shoot did take and I’m no longer in that particular wilderness.  I had to be reminded yesterday of the righteous indignation.  We’re collecting money for a Pastor that was victimized by Katrina. We’re selling HyVee Food Cards.  I took the deposit down to the bank and they told me a $50 bill was counterfeit.  It wasn’t hard to investigate because only one person pays with $50 bills.  I contacted him and he told me where he got it from – the same bank.  I contacted the bank and they refused to honor the bill.  I told them I was going to go to the paper.  Well long story short – I was reprimanded.  God spoke to me through the above verse.  I was doing it on my own without God.  I repent.
