No Pouting on Pisgah. Getting (Un)Lost as Caregiver. Deuteronomy 3:24-28. Sunday Musings

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) Don’t pout on Pisgah; Get Perspective 14,600 days the children of God walked in circles, when they should have walked 11 days straight into the promised land. All now felt lost--Moses as the greatest caregiver of all time told he cant go in; his protoges/children in faith & work (Joshua and Caleb) who must go it alone from now on, without Moses, and; the 2M new care receivers who are kids of the last 2M care receivers who perished for disbelief in God and hatred toward Moses. But God is clear: while you may feel lost, you are not. You just have lost your context. Let Me provide that context. Then you will have direction. There is work for you to do Moses--charge, equip, strengthen Joshua and Caleb; there is work for you do to J&C--learn from Moses, the best coach/leader in Old Testament, and trust Me in new land I am taking you. What Moses did in wilderness wont apply in promised land--so learn principles, dont memorize rules. And for the 2M, FOLLOW J&C, and DO what you must in promised land where I am taking you--starting today! Climbing up Pisgahs gives us perspective, and hope. Seek the high place.  As caregivers: see God, not the giants. Look above obstacles to the One who knows none. Learn from this story of Moses. Keep giving care with ability God gives you. Trust God for what is needed in the future, whatever that will look like. He will be with you there as He is today here. Each day has its challenges. But you are sufficient in them. So, dont poubt--give it out! Seek the high ground, where your gaze is fixed.
