TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - April 21, 2021
Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at 9:17AM Show Me Your Glory
Today is April 21, 2021
Welcome to your mid-week!
I remember being in college, being in a difficult situation, and asking God for a sign. Seconds later I saw a semi-truck pulling a trailer with the letters 'G.O.D.' on it. It was a company advertising 'guaranteed overnight delivery' but, in that moment, it was the sign I had prayed for.
I think we all have moments like that, moments where we want to see a sign from God; a moment where we need to be reassured. Moses' moment came when God almost abandoned him to lead his people through the wilderness alone. In that moment Moses wanted to know that God was really with him so he asked God to show him his glory. God's response:
Exodus 33:19
And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
In couple of sentences God teaches Moses what his glory looks like. God's glory is the goodness we see in this world, the mercy and compassion we experience, and the proclamation of His name. It may not be as flashy as a pillar of fire or as fantastic as the red sea parting, but it is personal, long lasting, and it is how God shows his glory to his people.
In essence, God was reassuring Moses that he was always with him. And that is God's reassurance to us.
God's blessing and protection over you and your family as you seek the see the glory of God in your life, and I look forward to worshipping with you online this Sunday.
