demanding God’s presence..

last week we started another series at tomy called “in the mountains”. we are climbing some famous old testament mountains with some incredible old testament people.

today we talked about moses climbing the mount sinai.. how incredible must have been for him to visit the same place where God called him out from a miserable life of an 80-year-old shepherd (ex. 3-4).. he’s approximately one year older, but with the same questions and fears – who are you? who am i? what if they don’t believe me?

moses have never known his father.. the closest he got to a father figure was jethro, his father-in-law.. and as john eldredge likes to emphasize it is father’s job to give his children meaning and strength for a life time.. moses has never experienced it and it is likely to believe he is carrying this weakness in his heart..

so he climbs up the mount sinai.. and demands. demands God’s presence.. not just a set of rules, not even a comforting miracle, but God’s presence.. he wants to meet God, the same one he got to know within the last year as a burning bush and a miracle maker.. he begs God to show him his face, to reveal his presence to him..

and God does that.

when was the last time you asked God to reveal Himself to you? to become real? to stand with you face to face and assure you about His never-ending parenthood? 

He’s closer than you think.. He is IN YOU.. “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (col. 1:26-27)

don’t miss Him!
