FAITH CAPSULE: Do not count on your reasoning to lead you but count on His revealed way.

Exodus 33

When Moses was leading the children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land, it was not by his own reasoning but in the way of God. Human reasoning will fail but the way of God will prevail. The way of God is God. At a point during the journey to the Promised Land, Moses was asking God to show him His way, “Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”(Exodus 33:13) God’s response to Moses request for God’s way stated, “And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:14) Evidently, the way of God is God’s presence. God’s presence is God. Jesus also stated when He referred to Himself, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”(John 14:6) In the way of the Lord there is direction, victory, peace, power and there is no failure. When the way of the Lord is not revealed, the journey is bound to be a failure. Moses was seeing the way of God and he could not fail in leading the children of Israel at every juncture where there was no way. The word of God declared in Psalm 103:7 “He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.” He was close to God in all his steps while the children of Israel were far from the Lord in all of their steps. The children of Israel were walking in complaint and in rebellion and could only see where and when Moses has completed assignments. Returning unto God will turn on the ways of the Lord. It is written, “Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD and He will have mercy on Him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” (Isaiah 55:6-7)The word of God is revelation that reveals and shows the way of God. It is good to be seeing His acts or witnessing His acts, but it is not enough until you begin to see His way. It is time that you begin to position yourself in the word of God so that His way will become a revelation to you. God is not a partial God if He can show His way unto Moses, He will show it to you. Do not count on your reasoning to lead you but count on His revealed way.

Prayer for today: Ask God to show you His way as you continue to navigate the journey of life.
