We are living in times that everything we thought were aren’t. Right? We are told one thing and then a few days later it appears to be something totally different. What’s right? What’s wrong? When do I ask Why? and of Whom? Who can we trust?
The Word tells us that even as far back as Moses there where questions Exodus 3:11 Who am I that I should go? The Word says that….Exodus 3:12 I will give you a sign
Not only did Moses ask why should he go he even ask….. Who are You to ask me to go? Exodus 3:13 “What is Your Name?” The Word tells us….Exodus 3:14 “I AM WHO I AM”
Then fear……what if they don’t listen? I kinda feel this way now. All the unrest and uncertainly of the world right now. We are still uncertain about a virus that came suddenly, now riots, unrest, uncertainty.
But listen friends Moses felt the same way, the reason I bring this up is there really isn’t anything new. It’s a different time yes. It’s new for us, yes. But it’s not new to God. He is the I AM. The Alpha and Omega. The Beginning and Ending.
When Moses asks what if they don’t listen to me……the word says…..in Exodus 4:2-9 that God will have them listen…..these are examples of how God showed Moses his power and how the people will believe. He empowered Moses to lead the people.
Just a few short weeks ago there was a movement about family, faith and getting back to things that were important. In a matter of 3 weeks this country has turned 180 degrees. Sadness, cruelty, angry, bitterness, outrage, mistrust, hatred, lawlessness………travel with me for a few minutes…..
John 3:1-21 Tells us about a man named Nicodemus, a ruler of Jews. He came to Jesus asking about how can one do these signs and wonder unless you are from God? (paraphrased) I hope you take time out of your busy day to read this scripture and let it speak to your heart.
To summarize it Nicodemus was a Pharisee, Jewish ruler in Jesus time, he recognized that Jesus was very special and he believed he was sent from God to be a World Changer. No one could do the things that He could do without having the power of God. During this conversation Jesus tells him how to have eternal life by accepting Him as his Savior, Believing that Jesus is the Son Of God, knowing that He is the One True example we can look to during all of our difficult times and His word will provide the answers. The One Perfect Model.
May this provide you with a few moments of encouragement and peace during these difficult uncertain times.
