3:11-12
I
remember the summer months of 1999. It was those times when I recognized God
calling and speaking with me. I can remember talking with him for at
least an
hour each evening as I would prayer-walk the perimeter of my then church.
I
remember reading specific scriptures he would give me, gleaning from them
for
then and for now. One evening I heard myself asking Him, why don't you speak to me like you were speaking with Moses. I heard the answer very clearly, "What is it you think we are doing right now?"
In
those times I remember reading these verses from Exodus. Moses was
essentially
asking, how do I know it is you directing me? The answer for Moses, for
me then, for me now and for you remains. Look back in retrospect and see the
faithfulness and the direction/leading I have given you. "Worship me"
Later
that summer he had arranged for me to be moved out of my job, accepted into
the MorningStar School of Ministry, a fulltime job for my wife, and for me and
a place to live with no moving expenses.
All
that the come to this point. This week we got the early morning phone
call of my
father's death. I saw 3:11. My wife's clock shows 3:12.
But
Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead
the people of Israel out of Egypt?” God answered, “I will be with you.
And
this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.” Exodus 3:11-12 (NLT)
