Discovering Our God: The Simple yet Profound Truth

-

Verse:Exodus 4:11 "The Lord said to him, 'Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?'"

In this profound moment, God responds to Moses' anxiety about his stuttering by asking a series of poignant questions. These questions, though limited in number, reveal the vastness of God's sovereignty and the simplicity of discovering our God. By asking "Who gave human beings their mouths?" God highlights His role as the Creator of our very being. By asking "Who makes them deaf or mute?" He emphasizes His control over our abilities and limitations.

The question "Who is our God?" has sparked debates and discussions for centuries, with volumes of books written to prove or disprove God's existence. Yet, God's response to Moses shows us that the answer lies not in complex arguments, but in the simple acknowledgment of the cause behind our existence. Just as a newborn instinctively leans towards her mother's breast, we too can discover our God by pondering the necessary cause behind our existence.

This abstract, undefined cause is the one who gives us life, sustains us, and loves us unconditionally. He is the one who speaks, creates, and sustains. He is the ultimate reality, the source of all existence. We can begin to call upon His name, and no one can negate this simple yet profound truth.

As we lean back and reflect on our existence, we can grow in our understanding of God and His love for us. We can begin to see Him in every breath we take, in every moment we live. We can begin to trust in His sovereignty, His goodness, and His grace.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you with humble hearts, seeking to discover your presence in our lives. Help us to ponder the simple yet profound truth of your existence, and to acknowledge you as the cause behind our being.

Forgive us for seeking complex answers when the truth is right before us. Reveal yourself to us, and may we know you as our God.

May we lean back and reflect on your love, your grace, and your sovereignty. May we grow in our understanding of you, and may we trust in you completely.

Amen.

Verses:Genesis 32:22-32 "That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, 'Let me go, for it is daybreak.' But Jacob replied, 'I will not let you go unless you bless me.' The man asked him, 'What is your name?' 'Jacob,' he answered. Then the man said, 'Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.'" In this remarkable story, God comes down to meet Jacob in his moment of fear and uncertainty. Jacob is worried about his upcoming encounter with Esau, but God has a different plan. Inste...

The Weight of Our Actions: A Lifelong Reminder

-
Verse: Genesis 49:3-4 - "Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: Unstable as water, you shall not excel; because you went up to your father's bed; then defiled it: he went up to my couch." In the book of Genesis, we find a poignant reminder that our actions have consequences that can last a lifetime. The story of Reuben, the firstborn son of Jacob, serves as a powerful illustration of this truth. Despite being blessed with strength, dignity, and power, Reuben's reckless behavior led to a lifelong spot on his reputation. Reuben's mistake was not just a momentary lapse in judgment, but a deliberate choice that had far-reaching consequences. By sleeping with his father's concubine, Bilhah, he not only dishonored his father but also destabilized the family dynamics. This singular act of disobedience and disrespect earned him a lasting rebuke from his father, Jacob. The weight...
