The Majesty of Being a Called One

-

Verses:Exodus 7:1 "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.'"

This divine declaration is a demonstration of God's willingness to adapt and condescend to human limitations, while maintaining His divine majesty. By using the name "God" to describe Moses, God is emphasizing Moses' role as His representative and intermediary. Moses becomes the conduit through which God's message is delivered to Pharaoh, underscoring the importance of obedience and trust in God's plan.

This remarkable declaration also reveals God's desire for intimacy and partnership with humanity. By using the name "God" to describe Moses, God is, in effect, saying, "I am with you, and I am working through you." This statement echoes God's desire for relationship and collaboration, where He works alongside humans to accomplish His purposes.

As we reflect on this extraordinary declaration, we are reminded that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. God's willingness to use a term typically reserved for Himself to describe Moses underscores His creative and unpredictable nature.

In this remarkable declaration, we also find a profound encouragement for those who have been called by God to serve Him. If God can use a term typically reserved for Himself to describe Moses, then we can trust that He will equip and empower us to fulfill our own roles in His plan.

God's willingness to use a term typically reserved for Himself to describe Moses reveals His broadness and generosity in relating to humanity. This divine broadness asks us to be broader in our own relationships with others, embracing their unique experiences, perspectives, and callings.

The majesty of being a called one is profoundly illustrated in God's declaration to Moses. By using the term "god" to describe Moses, God underscores the extraordinary dignity and honor bestowed upon those who are called to serve Him.

In conclusion, God's declaration to Moses reveals the extraordinary majesty and significance of being called by God. May we, like Moses, embrace our calling with reverence, humility, and a deep sense of responsibility, knowing that we are entrusted with the very essence of God's purpose.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for the majesty of Your calling. Help us to embrace our roles with humility, reverence, and a deep sense of responsibility. Make us flexible and adaptable, willing to adjust to Your creative and unpredictable ways. May we be broad and inclusive in our relationships with others, embracing their unique experiences, perspectives, and callings. Empower us to fulfill our purposes, and may our lives reflect Your glory. 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.

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...
