Wednesday Reflection, December 1, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n
Greetings friends. Todays reflection bids us look at a time in Israel’s history and Moses life where they realized and recognized that going anywhere or doing anything without the Lord God being with them would be futile.<\/p>\n\n\n
We are reminded of the genesis of Moses’ call to serve he was timid and full of excuses yet in Exodus 33 we note a difference in his attitude abd manner, the way in which he approaches God and speaks to him in that way we do with the people with whom we are familiar. In addition to that, ln the watchword for today, Exodus 33:15, Moses said to the Lord, ‘if your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.’<\/p>\n\n\n
God instructed the people to leave Sinai but we see where Moses was now at a place where he now trusted and appreciated the Lord’s power and presence. Moses , in reasoning with the Lord, reminded God of His promises to the people and pleaded with Him to let them remain at Sinai if His presence would not journey with them.<\/p>\n\n\n
Brothers and sisters, has God called you to do anything? Has He instructed you to leave a place, person or state? What was or has your reaction been? Has God not delivered and brought you hitherto?<\/p>\n\n\n
Perhaps your tongue is lined with excuses and your heart be full of fear but know this,as you repent and as you bow your heart in reverence and totally submit your will to the Lord, remind Him of His promises, reason with the Lord and await the revelation. John 10:4 the new testament text for today reminds us thus, ‘the good shepherd goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because
they know his voice.<\/p>\n\n\n
Until next week, let us pray\u2026
Grant us Lord, the ability to hear you, to listen to you and to follow you in the cocophony of sounds that surround us.
Amen<\/p>\n\n\n
