God Means Business..

Prepare: Help me to know more of You and Your concerns for people, Lord!
Read: Exodus 3:13-22

For Moses, it is an unexpected encounter with God; but God gives him directions for actions to be taken in the days to come. Step by step, God spells out the information and directions Moses needs at that time.

God reveals His person: God is everlasting beyond time and the restraints of different periods of time. The God who worked out His plan so freely in the life of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob irrespective of the struggles they encountered within their times, is the same who now meets Moses to work out His plan for His people, irrespective of the obstacles he would face in Egypt and diffidence of Moses. "I am who I am" is the One who meets with Moses.

God spells out His purposes: He has come down to bring out the descendants of Abraham frmo Egyot and to take them to the land He had promised to their forefathers. There is no turning back from this stand. God is clear in His purpose for us. Let us know them and fulfill them with His strength.

God explains his procedure: In detail, God tells Moses how He will work out the deliverance of His people from the Egyptian bondage. It is always good for us to obey God's commands as He guides us step by step.

Respond: Thank You Lord for Your presence with us and Your power that is at work in us carrying out Your purpose.
