What Do You See?

He said, "But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain" (Exodus 3:12 ESV).


This is what Moses saw when the Lord spoke to him: a barren rock jutting out of the landscape; little, if any, life; certainly not a place to be desired, after all, it was on the back side of the desert. A place of desolation, of barrenness, and one that was not desired by the average person.



But that is not what the Lord saw. The place despised became a place of Presence, surrounded by a peculiar people delivered by the One who had heard their cries, seen their sufferings, and witnessed their afflictions. Desolation had been replaced with population; barrenness with life; and personal despair with hope. Yes, through obedience and faith the vision God had for his people would come to pass, it would be accomplished to His glory!




Do you see all that the Lord has for us as we walk by faith in obedience? I do.
