Post #100: "I will be with you!"

Moses was confronted with the biggest task of his GREAT life. The Lord had seen the oppression of His people and heard their cry. He decided it was time to act. Who did He call to act on His behalf? Moses! But...But...But...was Moses' reply. "I can't go back to Pharaoh." "What will my people say?" "Who am I Lord that I should go?" Basically Moses is saying "Why me?" He asked God "Who am I?" What was God's response? I love this every time I read it. "I will be with you." That was his response to who Moses was. What is God saying? "Moses, IT'S NO ABOUT YOU!" I am more and more convinced that the Scripture is trying to teach us who it's all about. "But God what's your plan?" "But God I need this." "But God if you'd only do this." "But God what about me?" God's answer to us is "I will be with you." That's all we need to know. Whatever God is calling us to do. Whatever task needs to be done. Whatever word needs to be spoken God wants us to know, and to remember "I will be with you". That's STILL His answer. He won't always reveal His plan. He doesn't HAVE to explain Himself. He doesn't NEED to butter us up with who WE are CAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT ME! "I will be with you." Should be enough for us. Whatever we face. Whatever we do, we are not alone! Couldn't think of anything better to post for my 100th one. I read that story today in my devos and was encouraged again to know He is there.

In His Presence,
