You Are Like Moses In More Ways Than You Know

Word of the Day
Like Moses, you have been called out of the wilderness, for you know who your Father in Heaven is. I am the Lord God of Israel —the great I AM that I AM. I called you from birth, from conception. I knit you together for a purpose beyond your comprehension to be fulfilled in the here and now (Psalms 139:13-28). Destiny in life is lived moment by moment, day by day.

Many of My children are so future oriented they miss the present or they are so past focused they’re paralyzed and do not move. This is not to be. I want each and every one positioned to receive My ever-flowing fresh streams of Manna. You see, My every thought is on you without exception (Psalms40:5). Not even one heartbeat goes unnoticed or unattended by Me. Each one is ready to be heard by you.

So, as you find yourself in the wildernesses of life, even though there is a portion of fruitfulness as there was with Moses, it is not your permanent home. The wildernesses of your life are where I speak kindly to you—where I open up the skies above you, causing the stars to shine with great clarity. It is the place of burning bushes and rumbling mountains.

Moses had a family, a job and a position. In spite of this, his heart was always drawn to the mountain of My habitation. He was drawn to the rumblings of the desert which foretold of days to come. What if he had ignored the signs, the stars, and the mountains as they shouted in their own way of coming days? I would have still worked among the chambers of his mind, his heart. You see, I had a plan and the determination to carry it out. Will I do any less for you? NO!

Though he was hidden away for a time, his heart was not hidden from Me nor was I hidden from him. I spent many a moment, many a night whispering into the very depths of his being, long before he came to realize the fullness of what was taking place. I am always on the scene before you are aware of My presence, laying the groundwork, the foundation of purpose. I do not have to be convinced, but sometimes you do.

Like Moses, you have been hidden away and you have learned much from your communion with Me, and now a time comes to learn much more by some on the job training. You have learned much and many need to know what you know. Prepare your heart to be launched from the desert to the mountain. The mountain is rumbling even now. Can you hear it?

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me is your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.” (Psalms 139:13-28 NIV)

Prayer
Lord, You have called me from birth. In fact, You knew my frame, my days and my calling before the worlds were formed. Nothing takes You by surprise or extinguishes Your patience on my behalf. Each beat of my heart pulsates through Yours and each thought is important to You. Your thoughts toward me are more than can ever be numbered. They are too wonderful to contain. Even when I am faithless You are faithful, working out Your ways and plans before I am ever aware of them. Your kindness is beyond comprehension and Your dedication to the very essence of my purpose is astounding.

Lord, speak into the depths of my being and I will be made new. I will be changed from a desert dweller to a mountain climber, from one who is hidden to one who delivers. I can hear the mountain of Your heart rumbling inside of me. I prepare my heart.

Reflect and Journal

1. In what ways have you been so future oriented that you have missed the glories of the present with all its lessons and benefits?
2. Have you disqualified yourself in any way due to unfaithfulness, busyness, fear, doubt or unbelief?
3. Reflect on Him working within the very foundations of your heart and life with endless determination regardless of which you are, where you are or what you might be doing?
