God said to Moses, I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’  Exodus 3:14 (NIV) Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭(NIV‬)‬ Do not become lost in the clouds of your past, but walk with me. I will continue to lead you where you should go.

Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, asking for a sign from heaven to test him. Sighing deeply in his spirit he said, “Why does this generation look for a sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to this generation.” Then he left them, got back into the boat, and went to the other side. Mark 8:11-13 (NET) Look outward. Call my name and see If I do not respond. I am there, waiting for you, awaiting your heart to be made whole. Don’t allow those past experiences you define as failures to define who you are now. Keep knocking. The door will soon be opened to you.

So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. Jesus has already gone in there for us.

Don’t succumb to the ways of the enemy. Put aside the distractions and find me. I am hiding there in plain sight, awaiting your glance. Allow me to reach in and cleanse you, to release healing. I am what you need. Just confess those sins. Leave them at my altar of repentance. Become whole. In Me is light and life.

Allow me to guide you in your journey. There is no need to walk alone. I will continue to protect you. I will shelter you from your bad decisions, offering alternatives as you learn to recognize and respond to my voice.

Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, contrary to his command. So fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. Moses then said to Aaron, This is what the Lord spoke of when he said:  ”Among those who approach me I will be proved holy; in the sight of all the people I will be honored.” Aaron remained silent. Leviticus 10:1-3 (NIV) Rest assured, I am with you. I am guiding your journey as you learn who I am. I have set my ways before you. My direction is there if you choose the pathway. Don’t be stuck looking in the past, but walk forward, strengthened in me. I will be with you.

I care for you. Remember, as you cross the storms and seas of your life I too know your name and have called you to me. Don’t be guided by fear. Speak out my peace and be whole. On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.” So after leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat, and other boats were with him. Now a great windstorm developed and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was nearly swamped. But he was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?” So he got up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Be quiet! Calm down!” Then the wind stopped, and it was dead calm. And he said to them, “Why are you cowardly? Do you still not have faith?” They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, “Who then is this? Even the wind and sea obey him!”” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭35‬-‭41‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given— and you will receive even more.” Mark 4:24 (NLT) Quiet the noisiness of this new day and seek me. Quiet yourself.

I am calling. Can you hear my voice? Are you ready to respond? Don’t give up. I’m yet here to strengthen you. One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew— throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living.

A little farther up the shore Jesus saw Zebedee’s sons, James and John, in a boat repairing their nets.

One day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Holy Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Ears that hear and eyes that see— the Lord has made them both. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭20‬:‭12‬ (‭NIV‬‬) Look in front of you. I will show you new things, ways for you to go and to process. The creation is mine, so speak my words over it. Encourage it to grow as it was created to be growing. Step forward with me. Allow my ways and direction lead and guide you.

And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent.

Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!’ “But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don’t know you!’ “ So you, too, must keep watch!

Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel climbed up the mountain. There they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there seemed to be a surface of brilliant blue lapis lazuli, as clear as the sky itself. And though these nobles of Israel gazed upon God, he did not destroy them.

On the morning of the third day, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and a dense cloud came down on the mountain. There was a long, loud blast from a ram’s horn, and all the people trembled. Moses led them out from the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the Lord had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a brick kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently. As the blast of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God thundered his reply.

Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭26‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Watch and I will enlarge your way in me as you open yourself to my leading.
