Exode 33:13

Leadership is a divine calling, yet it is not without its challenges. In the vast and beautiful tapestry of God’s Word, we encounter countless men and women chosen to lead in His kingdom. These stories remind us that being called by God does not exempt us from struggles, heartaches, or moments of doubt.

Real friendship with God isn't a feeling you chase, and staying alert to what's working against you isn't paranoia. These three days sit at that intersection. What it costs to refuse a lesser substitute for God's presence. Why the danger rarely looks like danger at all. What it means to actually let something you hear change you, instead of agreeing with it. Three days, one posture: close enough to notice.

What goes through your mind when you think about being left alone? Is it a good feeling? Is it a bad feeling? Does it bring up negative emotions? Or do you like being alone? What do we do with isolation. Over the next couple of days, we are going to look at what God does through isolation.
