How does God Reveal Himself to Moses (Exodus 1-4)

-
Many things are revealed in the way God has come forth to Moses. God comes to Moses in nature and the wilderness with a spectacular fiery image. A bush was inflamed but not burning. Would you be frightened? Would you run?

Then God speaks out to Moses. Hearing the voice of God is no easy task. It may be difficult in today's noise and being constantly being plugged? God does not talk through technology, but the quiet and peace. Would you be able to hear his voice? To hear his voice you must come to the quiet. God has revealed himself in a way that most would not typically think. This tells me once again God's ways are not our ways. 

God instructs Moses to remove the shoes from his feet. We must come to God in reverence and with a sincere heart. God's image is so pure even in the image of a fire that Moses had to hide his face. 

Chapter 1 starts with the Egyptians killing all of the male babies of the Hebrew people. Not a good way to start out and you will know you are a corrupt generation. God will show them vengeance. Let us all remember protecting the innocent. 

In Chapter 4 Moses has doubts. What I find so awesome that God will empower us. Even though Moses was not an eloquent speaker and many believe had some type of speech impediment (i.e. stuttering, etc). God has made us with certain weaknesses, but by God's Grace we can overcome them. The story of Moses certainly holds that to be true.

Heavenly Father, please speak to my heart as you spoke to Moses in the burning bush. Allow me to understand the importance of the setting in which you communicate. Let me know when trials and doubts come that You are with me. You are in control. Help me to give You the praise, thanks, and worship that You deserve. I pray this in the powerful, powerful name of Jesus.

Ch 88 Curiousity about People

-
Curiosity, curiosity, curiosity.  How many of my daily dealings deal with curiosity of others?  The saying, "curiosity killed the cat" should also be mindful of what curiosity can lead to.  I should avoid gossips of others as much as possible.  I should worry about myself and not my neighbor. Pray: Heavenly Father, give me the strength and fortitude to avoid the temptation of gossip.  Worrying about myself first and foremost and blocking out the noise will lead to future successes.  I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

The Wedding at Cana

John 2:1-12 Revised Standard Version (RSV) The Wedding at Cana 2 On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; 2 Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. 3 When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Every man serves t

Ch 80 Anger Thoughts How do I interact with individuals that are confrontational?   What do I say when someone else says something hurtful to me?  When I get angry what other items are going through my mind?  Is there something else bothering me or a root to the problem?  Am I blinded by my rage? One needs to be meek and should follow the prayer of meekness.  Do not let anger blind you to a higher way of thinking.  Do not act on animal instincts, but spiritual ones. Pray: Jesus Meek and Humble of Heart…make my heart like unto Thine. Amen.
