Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” “Do…

Pursuing God
If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you…

A Love That Is Everlasting
the Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. Jeremiah 31:3 God loves his people with an everlasting love. He reaches out with kindness to his children. Look at the Israelites. They obey God, then slip away from him. It’s a yo-yo. Yet, there is God just waiting for them to return to him. God still loves them, showing grace and mercy. God will discipline us for our disobedience. He is still calling us home. He is still loving us. I caught myself questioning the Israelites fo them turning to other gods. For instance, Why…

Seeking Our Triune God Daily
One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4 How would you describe having a personal relationship with God? Each day that we spend with God, we will have spiritual growth. We develop a deep awareness of His love for you and your love for him. As we grow more in God, we have more freedom from sin. As our personal relationship with God grows, the fruit of the Spirit will be more prominent…

Digging Deeper
He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God. John 8:48 Today, read Genesis 15-16 Genesis 28:10-19, Exodus 28:30, Jeremiah 18:1-10, 1 Kong’s 19:12, Exodus 8:20-25 How did God speak to his people in the Old Testament? What scripture spoke to you?

A Real And Practical Relationship
At Gibeon, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you.” And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to you servant David my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day. 1 Kings 3:5-6 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and breadth of mind like the sand on the seashore so that Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of…

God Pursuing You
The Lord appeared to us in the past saying: ‘ I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.’ Jeremiah 31:3 God always is the first to pursue a love relationship with each of us. He comes to us and takes the initiative so we can experience him. This is what he did with Adam and Eve. He fellowshipped with them and them with Him. He came to Noah, Abraham, Moses, etc. We do not seek God on our own initiative. Romans 3:10-12 says, “as it is written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL…

Walking With God
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. Genesis 3:8 God created Adam and Eve in his image and in a perfect love relationship with himself. God walked in the Garden with his human creatures. Of course, God did not have legs and literally walk with Adam and Eve, but the metaphor expresses the companionship and harmonious relationship that existed between them. The Garden was a place where Adam and Eve could meet with God any place. No specific place had to be set apart for meeting with God because every place was appropriate—that is, until the Fall. Then…

Love Relationship With God
Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we drink? or ‘What shall we wear? For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first HIs kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:31-33 Are you satisfied with your relationship with our Triune God? Or is your heart desiring more? Let’s take a moment and search our hearts and motives. Would you rather have: Jesus or silver, gold, riches untold, houses, and land Would you rather have: Jesus or Men’s applause and worldwide fame Would you rather have: Jesus or be the king…
