am writing this week about rebellion against God, the kind we expect and criticize and the subtler kind we try to deny and explain away. Both bring us to the same place–opposition to God and obstruction of his plans for us. There is thread that runs through the seemingly unrelated stories of King Uzziah of Judah recorded in 2 Chronicles 15 and Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000 on a Galilean mountainside recorded in John 6:1-15. If we follow that thread we will find it leads directly to our hearts.
