I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Exodus 12. “This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover” (Verse 11). If you have read the chapter right about now you are wondering, why out of all the verses in this chapter did I choose 11? Glad you asked. In reading I wondered why God was so specific about how they needed to be dressed in order to eat. If you noticed they needed to eat it quickly, but the also needed to be dressed as though they were about to leave. When I got to verse 31 I realized that was the exact reason. Read it you’ll see why too. Here’s what I learned: God sees the WHOLE picture. Therefore He may ask us to do things that seem illogical to us, almost nonsensical. But we need to remember our view is limited, we only see what is directly in front of us. God sees the past, present, and the future. He sees it ALL. Therefore, no request from God is nonsensical, there is a reason and a purpose for it all. So obey.
