Something Bigger Than Ourselves

Week of November 4, 2022

Moreover He said “I am the God of your father – the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.  And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God” (Exodus 3:6 NKJV)

God speaks to us often in the context of what He has done in the lives of those who have gone before us.  God did not give Moses an assignment independent of what He has done through those who had preceded Him.  God made promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob hundreds of years earlier, and He was going to involve Moses in His ongoing activity.

The God who led Moses worked through prophets and directed the apostle Paul is the same God who approaches you today to become involved in His work.  Do you sense the significance of that?  You are a vital part of something much bigger than yourself.

We are guilty sometimes of only thinking in the present.  We expect that anything God does through us will be completed while we can see the results.  We become impatient if God intends to complete what He began in us through another person or even another time.

Moses came to understand that his involvement in God’s work was in the context of hundreds of years of divine activity.  You and I are pieces of something bigger than ourselves.  I hope you sense that your life is part of God’s eternal purposes.

God Bless, Pastor Rick
