Exodus 3 - 6.16.26
SCRIPTURE: Exodus 3:11-12
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.”
OBSERVATION
Moses had a supernatural encounter with God when he approached the burning bush in the wilderness. God told Moses about the promise that He gave to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God had the plan to use Moses to fulfill that covenant. This seemed like an overwhelming, almost impossible task for Moses to complete in which he could not do in his own power. Moses was to approach the ruler of the most powerful kingdom of the time to release a multitude of slaves who were his people. God assured Moses that His presence would be a sign to him, the Israelites and even the Egyptians, and that He alone will receive the glory.
APPLICATION
The most comforting words that we can hear is when God says, “I will be with you.” Christ can make the incapable capable and the impossible possible. This is where faith is to be applied. If God lays a pathway for us where the obstacles seem impossible to move, we have to trust in God to see us through the whole way. The Apostle Paul asked the Roman church that if God is for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)? Whatever calling, ministry, task, encounter, or interaction that God is calling us to, He will be with us. We have nothing to fear.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your comforting words that You will be with us and will not forsake us. I pray that we encounter You in a mighty way to hear what You have in store for us. I know that You have an assignment for each of us, and I pray that we can hear You with clarity such as Moses did near the burning bush. I pray that You can strengthen our faith. In Matthew 17:20, You told the disciples that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. We thank You for walking with us, beside us and most of all in front of us leading the way!
