We do not look backwards for the simple sake of knowledge. Instead, we look at our origin to better understand where we find ourselves today and how we should respond appropriately. Thousands of years ago, God spoke to Moses and asked him to step into the journey. God wanted Moses to play a part in His redemptive plan. God still calls to us today. How do we respond? Each journey is different.
As we read the Scriptures, we read the stories of other people of history interacting with their Creator. As we read these stories, they become our stories. How will we write our stories? How would God have us write our story? We want to live extraordinary lives. We will not settle for anything less than the way of Jesus -- the best possible way to live.
