God Promises Us Closeness, Not Always Comfort

In Exodus 19, God speaks about his faithfulness to his people and speaks about about how he cares for them like an eagle cares for its young. This may seem rather sentimental initially, but this brief comment is loaded with meaning. Like an eagle parent, sometimes God nudges us out of the nest at the cost of our comfort. But it is always for our good, and he promises to always be with us.
