all in

Isaiah 31:1, "Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses and trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek and consult the Lord."

You said "woe" meaning don't do it...to go back to Egypt, where my flesh wants to turn, where the world often runs to, yet the very place where You have plucked me out of...Egypt not only represents slavery but also the safe way...certainty and comfort, at least to my mind...yet are they really? Maybe they are illusions instead, a false sense of control. To run to Egypt says, "I don't trust You God."

And the tangible masses, "horses...chariots," they seem certain in their numbers...and I can see them, "very strong."

All in to You means free from slavery to any earthly security and worldly comfort...and it also means using the resources You have given me to provide, both skill and the Gospel, to a people who need them both.

I would rather look to You my God, in the unseen, and hope in that, rather than in man and what appears the comfortable and safe route...because You are not safe but You are good. And there is no comfortable alternative...risking it all is the only option.
