• 0:28
  me. This is Something amazing about
• 0:31
  the God of the universe and other chapters can feel like
• 0:34
  hard work. And I bet there have been some
• 0:37
  of the chapters of Exodus that have felt like hard work.
• 0:39
  But this has also felt like a bit of a microcosm of my life
• 0:43
  for the last year because a year ago, I literally heard a voice
• 0:48
  out of the blue and God told me army.

• 0:58
  army. Chaplain in the Army Reserve.

• 1:03
  Theology and filling out more forms and doing more assignments
• 1:07
  than I even care to remember and it is felt like hard work and so
• 1:12
  much detail to continue to slog through as I'm sure these poor
• 1:17
  Israelites must have felt like with all of these specifications
• 1:21
  that God gave them but and the god of the universe asks us to
• 1:26
  do something, we do it. And so as we listen to Into all
• 1:30
  of these tasks being completed. We are aware that even though
• 1:34
  the details feel painful we live this Christian Life in service

  of something so much bigger than ourselves and this is the story
• 1:44
  of God's people doing exactly that.
