Day 38: Liminality and Leadership

Today we read Exodus 17-18, Leviticus 12, and Psalms 73. This is a story about the time and space between something we left and somewhere or something we are becoming. The wilderness can be a place of growth or a place of rebellion and ingratitude. It is meaningful to note that God’s response to the people’s lack of trust and ungratefulness is reassurance and provision. There are contrasts being made between their work for Pharaoh and their cycle of work and rest where God provides instead of us providing for a false-god - Pharoah. This is also a story which highlights the leadership God appointed and the leadership innovations the people make to be and become a more sustainable community of God, a Kingdom of Priests.
