FAITH CAPSULE: No one can avoid the hand of God.

Exodus 3

The word testifies to the extension of the hand of God.
For example, Moses ran away from Egypt to end at the location where running away from all challenges had no more track to run on.
Moses was leading the flock when God rounded him up. 
Exodus 3:2 records, “…the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.” 
Do you know where or how God is waiting for you in your running? 
When God wants to send one to the North Pole, running away to the South Pole, it is not enough for such to escape from the hand of God.
Moses gained the attention of the Angel of the Lord while the bush in a fire did not burn.
Moses saw a fire burning, and the bush did not burn. (Exodus 3:3) 
God waited for the runner Moses to answer his calling assignment. 
In life, pay attention to God. 
The attention of God draws the answering of Moses. 
The Bible records, “So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” (Exodus 3:4)
Just like Moses, Ezekiel did not run from God before the outstretched hand of God reached him and set him up for the assignment of God.
Ezekiel testifies to the hand of God upon him, “The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and indeed they were very dry.” (Ezekiel 37:1-2) 
The hand of God came upon Ezekiel to get his attention.
By your understanding, do you think you are running far from God or too fast for God to put you under His arrest?
Know it this day that God will wait or stretch out His hand to draw your attention to His intention. 
Ezekiel experienced the hand of God that God is in control to reach any of His creation as He wants to.
God is in perfect control over all His creation.
One can run from answering God, but God will only need to wait for the runner.
Are you running from God? 
God does not need to run before catching up with His creation.
The fastest-created one running away from answering the calling of God will not escape the hand of God.
The awesome eternal God is in perfect control over all His creation. 

Prayer for today: Ask not to run against the calling of God over your life.
