Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
EXODUS 3:6 KJV
GOD ALWAYS SPEAKS TO YOU IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT HE has done in the lives of those who have gone before you.
When God encountered Moses. He did not give him an assignment independent of what He had done through the those who had preceded him. God had made promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob hundred of year earlier, and He was now going to involve Moses in His ongoing activity to fulfill the covenant He had made with Moses forefather.
The God who led Moses, who worked through Elijah, who directed Paul, who guided each man and woman of God through the centuries, is the same God who approaches you to become involved in His work. Do sense the significant of that? You are vital part of something much bigger than yourself?
We tend to think only of the present. We want immediate results and lack a sense of eternity. We often act as if God had not been working at all where we were before He approached us. We expect that anything God does through us will be completed while we can see the results. We become impatient if God intends to complete what He began in us through another or even another generation.
Moses came to understand that his involvement in God's work was in the context of hundred of year of divine activity. When Moses came face to face with the same God who had guided his forefathers, he was deeply humbled. Do you sense that your life is a part of God eternal purpose?
