All that dreaming and wishing and passion I had about saving my people, big mistake. So Moses ran away from attempt to get away from tried to get out of, remove himself from how he was made. To dream, to imagine, to wish, to hope, to thirst, to hunger, to long, to desire, to need, and to picture a life greater than he himself was able to do. He was created to be able to picture a God sized life because all of us as human beings are handed a God sized project. But we have to face that we're human beings in need of God, so he can turn us into the God sized projects we're made to be. Otherwise, we'll be able to do only what we can do with our hands instead of what we're made to do with our hearts to allow our dreams to come true. And so we have to face that the way God designed us, and we'll maybe get to some of it, showing some of it, even scientifically this afternoon. But God designed us with a a brain. This is just shorthand, but a brain that whose which purpose is to do nothing more than articulate your dreams. It's all your brains for. Your brain is in your head to articulate what's happening in your heart. That's what it's for. When God came back to the garden in Genesis three nine, he said, Where are you? You? He said he was saying, Where where did you go? Where are you? I need to know where you are. And we know that God knew where he was, just like you see me standing here. It's like looking at me going, where are you, Chip? It's like I'm standing right here. What what are you asking that for? But he was asking for for Adam to return himself who God had made to God. And Adam's answer was emotional. It was emotional and spiritual. I was afraid, so I hid. And there's our problem. It's amazing.
