He Went That A ‘Way

Raindrops keep falling on my head… yes it’s raining outside! And having to be in it has just reminded me of my last post and looking to the sky to see God’s glory. But the rain also showed me something else.

We can’t completely focus on the sky and outside ourselves. He has never left us; he’s in the world right now he is in the chair your sitting in, the trees outside, and even the worlds and the computer your looking at now; but most of all he’s in your hair, your hands, your feet, your nose, your mind, your elbows, your armpits, and your heart. He’s in everything. We can sit and see god’s creations all around us. We can sit and watch the sky above us move and change, but we can also look in the mirror and see God’s likeness. We can see beauty, tenderness, and compassion. We can see careful craftsmanship and a Love for us his sons and daughters.

We can look around and see God in some many people in so many ways that it’s astonishing to think He can be so creative, and perfect and yet we can all be so different. It’s also amazing how you can look at yourself and even if there are things you don’t like or aren’t please with, they make you who you are, who God made and loves. Maybe you have freckles or a mole on your neck, or you’re bald and you don’t like being that way, but maybe God wanted you that way, not everyone can look exactly how they want, or we’d all look very similar, and I believe diversity is a Gift from God. And the little things we perhaps don’t like can also teach us that were not perfect, that’s why were human, but we die to this world and then it’s not our human bodies that really matter anyway, it’s the spiritual wellbeing that is the most important. And you are unique and have a special gift that no one else has that you can use to share your spiritual wellbeing, to those still worried if his or her hair looks perfect.

So sit and stare at the sky, take in his beauty, but when the rains start coming down don’t forget to look inside and rejoice in being different and unique, because God lives inside of you, not just all around you.

WHO AM I

"'...So Now, Go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.'
But Moses said to God, 'Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?'"

Exodus 3:10-11 NIV

Moses killed an Egyptian, fled and started a new life, now God is calling his name to go back and face his fear, his past, and the world he thought he had forgotten about

The first steps are the Hardest. Moses thought himself unworthy of this task; do we feel the same way? Are we taking after the environment we live and putting up a mask to block ourselves from the world.


But what does God say?

"And God said, 'I will be with you.'"

Exodus 3:12a NIV

God was not only going with him but he was always with him.

Moses was saved from death by his mother and the princess of Egypt. He was schooled in the finest schools in Egypt and lived a very privileged life compared to his family and nation.

Now God was calling him to use what God had given him, to use his schooling and his saved life to make a difference.

I feel we are so much like Moses and we can learn so much from his example, not just the miracles he preformed, but how he lived. He lived in ignorance not knowing that God had planned this from the beginning. This is ironic also because this story directly follow genesis, which ends with the story of Joseph. Joseph faced many struggles, but always gave the glory to God and understood that even being sold by his brothers was part of God’s plan.


How often do we as Christians feel second rate or inferior to this characters listed here in the bible. We feel like Moses. He had grown up hearing about Abraham and Joseph, and now he had run away, but God called his name, and I am sure at the time Moses had no idea the impact he would have, or where his path would lead, but God called his name and with a small nudge followed.

Maybe we as Christians need the same encouragement as Moses, we need a little nudge in the right direction, and we need to forget that we are inferior to biblical characters, because they were humans just like us. We need to stop running and turn around and ask questions just like Moses.



Am I inferior? Proud? Righteous? Am I who I say I am? Am I being truthful?

WHO AM I?
