Ready

4/18/2020

Exodus 3:4 “God called unto him…And he said, Here am I.”

Am I listening? Am I waiting? Am I open? Am I ready? Chambers says, “Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or great big thing, it makes no difference.” Do I only feel useful when I am doing the big thing, or do I get as much joy and blessing from the little things?

The verse today is taken from the story of Moses and the burning bush. Moses had entered Holy Ground on Mount Horeb, and God spoke to him about hearing the cries of His people. Can you even imagine what this must have been like, hearing the voice of God? I would think that every nerve in Moses’ body was crackling. Just the thought of it makes my heart race. Is Moses ready for such an encounter? Would I be? God has a big job for Moses to do: He tells Moses to go to Pharaoh and bring His people out of Egypt. Moses does not feel worthy of such a task, but God says to him, “I will be with you.” He had a monumental mission ahead of him, but despite his fear, he went forth with God. Moses was the mere vessel though which God worked.

Like in the days of Moses, we are currently experiencing a horrible plague upon our earth. It has forced us to take a global pause, but what are we doing with it? Are we spiritually preparing ourselves, or are we set and ready for the call of God in our lives? Am I ready to be a vessel for God? Will I say, “Here I am” when God calls?

Satan can use this time to break us down, but if we are trusting in God, He will continue to build us up and help us stay strong. Stay alert dear ones, and be ready.
