Life Lessons with Dr. Steve Schell
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
God knew Israel would not leave Egypt just because He asked them to. They would have to undergo a deep attitude-change before He could give them the promised land. After all, they had lived in Egypt for 400 years. It had become home to many generations and they had prospered there. Their families grew large, their livestock flourished and they built fine houses to live in. Yet, God did not want them to comfortably melt into the surrounding culture, gradually becoming Egyptians over the centuries. He had an important role for them to play in helping lost people find eternal life and they couldn’t fulfill that role where they were. They needed to move to the land he promised their ancestors. But since God will not changes a person’s will against their will, and He knew they wouldn’t obey Him if their situation remained as it was, He was forced to use circumstances to pressure them until their will aligned with His. This is the process we’re calling “divine discontent.” Last week we observed how the Holy Spirit brings “divine discontent” to unbelievers in order to draw them to Jesus Christ. This week we’ll discuss how God uses “divine discontent” in the lives of believers.
