Wonder and Awe

During the Old Testament times when the children of Israel were wondering through the wilderness Moses often communed directly with God. Sometimes he was praying for the Israelites, other times he was comlaining about them, but he was the one who had the privelage of speaking directly to God.

While Moses was in the tent talking to God and huge cloud would fall and hover over the tent. The children of Israel knew, that while that cloud was present, Moses was talking to God. After such encounters Scripture says that Moses face was radiant and it was obvious that he had just spent time in the presence of Yahweh (the Hebrew name for God).

Clouds may not hover directly over our churches on Sunday mornings today, but we still have unbridled access to God, just as Moses did. As believers we have a direct line of access to God, but sadly we often do not take full advantage of God's availability to us.

Here's a challenge to anyone who reads this:

For the next 5 days honestly pray. Pray that God would show himself to you, that you would begin to understand what he has planned for your life. Don't do one of those 5 minute "God is great" prayers that we say when we are young. Honestly seek the face God. Let him speak to you. That is the first step to revival - corporately and personally.

Serve your King,
