Are you at Sinai today? Are you at a station in life that seems to you (or to others, as they peer inside) as though it is the total opposite of blessing and fulfillment? Then let Sinai remind you not to be discouraged. God has brought you to this place, for in it stands a mountain in which God’s presence will appear. Often when external blessing seems to elude us, internal spiritual gifts come tumbling our direction. Sometimes—not always but sometimes—it takes being in the worst shape of your life to see and hear the Lord.
