Hello Everyone,
Another reality of “Experiencing God” is We Trust – Read Exodus 3:11; 13; 4:1; 10; 13. Verse after verse Moses tries his best to convince God that he was not the man for the job. God’s invitation to work with Him led Moses to a crisis of belief that required faith and action!
Moses had to get to the place where he no longer looked to his own resources or ability, but to God’s resources and ability!
Moses was finally willing to trust God.When you believe that nothing significant can happen through you, you have said more about your belief in God than you have said about yourself! Moses had to turn from looking to himself to looking to God (Luke 18:27)!
Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."Moses believed in God. God took care of the stuff.
Now do you think God has any problem providing you with whatever you need to walk in His will?Next we adjust - Exodus 4:20 So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand.Moses had to make major adjustments in his life to join God in what He was doing. Experiencing God is not a matter of getting God to come to where I am, but getting me to come to where God is!
God does not come to us on our terms, but we must come to Him on His terms!It doesn’t matter how often I come to church, read God’s Word, or pray if I am not willing to make the adjustments in my life that God says are necessary for me to get where He is calling me to be. (Isaiah 1:19)! If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land;
Whatever needs to change in order to get in on what He has in mind for me, I must be willing to change!
Finally We Experience God!Moses came to know God by experience as he obeyed God and God accomplished His work through him.
True success consists of knowing God’s will and being in the center of it.
“God willing, I will push and politick no more . . . the mountains are too high, history is too long and eternity is longer. God is too great, man is too small, there are many of God’s dear children, and all around there are men (& women) going to Hell. And if one man and a small group of men do not approve of where I am and what I do, does it prove I’ve missed success? No; only one thing will determine that — whether this day I’m where the Lord of lords and King of Kings wants me to be.” - Francis Schaeffer Where are you in your present experience with God? Are you where the Lord of Lords and King of Kings wants you to be?
Oh How HE Loves Us!
