Have you had moments in life when you clearly hear God speaking? It's like he's standing right behind you ~ whispering in your ear in moments that are filled with his image and nearness? Do those times come with foreboding because you remember other such precious times that ended with challenge and trails? Was it almost like he was preparing you ahead, filling you will his power and presence? And so, in a time when joy should fill your heart for his dynamic Presence and unique form in your life, instead you find yourself wrestling with concern for what might be ahead? I have spoken of Moses before and his unique Divine relationship. As I read the accounts it was amazing, yet Moses comes through as real and human and fragile. A frailty that's a lot like I imagine myself to be, seeing glimpses of the Divine God occasionally, all the while knowing it's none of what I am or anything I have done, but all him, for specific reasons surpassing simple love. Moses knew God through events filled with transformation, challenge and spirit-filling, still in those moments, his call required real effort ~ not only for others, but as the testament of obedience and love that it would become to God. It can be hard to sort out. Maybe none of this makes sense to you. Maybe it lands where you are currently living? If so, it's too late to run. All you, all we, can do now, is continue to listen. Wait to be moved. And pray we are able to fulfill what he will ask of us. Now prayer becomes essential. ~ Andi
