HIS PRESENCE
Exodus 3:11-22

“Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, ‘The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt; 17 and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’ (Exodus 3:16-17) God was speaking to Moses here. The children of Israel were in bondage and God had already visited them and saw all their trouble. God’s visitation was an open door to deliverance. God was there and they remained in there bondage because there was no one to lead them out with His word. The door has been opened, but they remained trapped. God’s visitation is like Jesus saying in John 10:10, “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Here Jesus was not saying ‘I will come’, what Jesus was saying was “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” With the children of Israel, God’s visitation was there for their miracle of deliverance. With the church, Jesus’ coming has been in place for the believer’s salvation, what is it that is holding believers up in bondage? In God’s message to the children of Israel, through Moses, God repeated His promise of what He had said, “And I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’ This is clear evidence that what He says He would do always become a done deal at the time of His saying. He alone is the Almighty creator, the only One that inhabits eternity; God is the Unchanging changer that changes situations from ugly to beautiful. Have you received any of His promises through the pages of the Bible or from the mouth of a prophet, and you know that He is speaking to you? If there is any confirmation of His promise, begin to move in His promise do not waste. He must have visited you because the word of God is God, and God cannot lie. Remember, God is beautiful for any situation regardless of how ugly the situation is.
 
Prayer for today: Have mercy Lord and let me not be a waste, let me be quickened when you visit me in Jesus’ name.
