FAITH CAPSULE: The way of God is the word of God and it is also the presence of God.

Exodus 33:12-23, Numbers 20
 
It is written, “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 isYour people.”And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”” (Exodus 33:12-14) In the above communication between Moses and God, it is clear that the way of God is the word of God and it is also the presence of God.
In His ways, there is direction and there is also living grace to live to the fulfillment of divine schedule. In His acts, there is power confirmation; there is deliverance and there is total victory. Psalm 103:7, “He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.” It is absolutely impossible to follow the ways of the Lord and not arrive at a final destination. Likewise, one cannot see His acts and not tremble at the awesomeness of His power. Moses knew the way because he was riding on a plan laid-out and directed by the Lord. The children of Israel were privileged to see His actions; they saw the move of God’s power so many times during the days in the wilderness. They saw the Red Sea open up to them to provide dry land as a passage. They saw how the firstborn of all the Egyptian masters died while their firstborns were safe. Despite all that they witnessed, those Israelites who left Egypt and whose age was twenty and above never arrived at their expected end. Caleb and Joshua were the only ones that did not fail to keep their faith in His acts which gave them direction. Moses, a giant in the hand of the Lord, violated the Word of God when he struck the rock twice where He was commanded to speak to the rock. (Numbers 20: 10-12) Moses could not get to the expected end because walking in His ways requires total obedience in all areas of life. Moses saw the Land of Promise, but could not set foot on the land. Are you paying attention to the Word of God? It has never changed and it will remain the same. The Word of God is the “unchanging changer”. His ways and His acts are all that we need to get to where we are going in life. Will you commit your way to His ways and trust in Him? Psalm 37:5,” Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.” He is faithful.
 
Prayer for today:Ask Him for the grace to keep you going in His ways. Ask Him to keep you meditating and focusing on the actions of His hand.
