Walk With God

The people of Israel were excited to see Canaan, the Promised Land. They were freed from slavery and looked forward to starting new things. This year the Lord will do great wonders for us as we purify ourselves.

As children of God, we should not be afraid of our tomorrow because He promises to be with us, because His name is Immanuel, which means “God with us” (Matthew 1:23). Our eternal Father is always with us and for us. God cares for each one of us individually. He knows how we feel, our thoughts and desires.

The year 2016 will not be an easy year, it will be a year of quaking and shaking (Joel 2:32). Violence upon violence and everything that can be shaken will be shaken until the only unshakable Kingdom of God remains. The situation of the world is heading towards the new world order. We are living in the last days and around the world we can see the nations are experiencing quaking. A prophecy for USA, if they do not return to the ways of the Lord, they will face destruction. USA is legalizing LGBT, people are living immorally without reverence for the Lord.

Sometimes God allows us to experience a diverted route, an unexpected U-turn, like what Moses and the Israelites experienced. Moses was not raised as a Hebrew, he was brought up as an Egyptian. When he found out about his roots, he wanted to bring the Israelites out of slavery. Moses had to deal with rebellious and stubborn people, who attacked his leadership. Even though the Israelites experienced the blessings of God, they kept on murmuring and grumbling. For 40 years, Moses led the Israelites on a lengthy journey, when it was supposed to be a short journey.

God allowed the Israelites to re-route in order to purify their hearts. God cares more about our character and our commitment to follow Him more than our competence. Skills can be trained and equipped but character and commitment comes from the heart.

Deuteronomy 32:1-4, is a song of praise delivered by Moses -

Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak, and let the earth hear the words of my mouth. May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb. For I will proclaim the name of the Lord; Ascribe greatness to our God! “The Rock, His work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is He.

Two-thirds of Moses’ life was spent in the wilderness, but he had kept his spirit strong and miracles upon miracles happened during his leadership. Once we have been saved, we are made righteous by Jesus’ sacrifice. Now we have a new life in Christ, to walk with God in sanctification. How is our life journey with God? God will do great and mighty wonders for us as we grow in maturity in Christ. Involve God in all areas of our life like Moses did. We should pray like Moses in Exodus 33:15, “And he said to him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth.”
