I was thinking of Moses yesterday in the car.  I was actually listening to "Show Me Your Glory" by Third Day, and it made me think of him...

I thought of how awesome it must have been to hear the Lord like that... a burning bush.  I've joked (kind of) many times that I would just like to hear the Lord like that!  But, when the Lord told this man what it was that He needed him to do... Moses told him there had to be someone better... more qualified.  Certainly someone else would bring Him "more" glory...

I've already chosen you...

...but I'm not prepared.  I mean, this isn't what I'd planned on doing.

It's what I've planned...

And then I thought about this man that doubted the Lord's "first choice".  I thought about what Moses would have said had he known EVERYthing that the Lord would do to show His glory.  If he was apprehensive to know he would lead his people out of Egypt... what do you think he would have done if God would have told him the "game plan"?! 

But HOW Lord?

I will tell you what you need to know when you need to know it.  For now, you must trust Me.

And then, after all of the plagues and they were on their way to freedom... Moses may have thought he was close to being done with this journey... he could see the end in sight.  He had witnessed miracles beyond comprehension... and while pondering God's awesome plan... he came to the water... a lot of water.  And he had no idea what to do.  Nothing he'd ever experienced could have prepared him for this.

Trust Me.

And even as the sea parted and waited, he could see the hesitation on the faces of those around him. 

Trust Me.

I can't go on without You...

I am here.

And so wiping every fear out of his mind... he took his first step into the unknown... followed by his second... and his third... and...

...then I thought about my life.  More similarities to Moses than I would have imagined.  As we're faced with decisions and situations we never thought... I see how I've responded to the Lord... I've asked for strength to endure... I've asked for hope to make it through... I've asked for patience to endure... but I haven't  said... "okay Lord... for whatever reason... you've chosen me... and so... I'm ready... whatever comes today... I'm ready... whatever happens tomorrow... I'm ready... whatever this ends like... I'm ready.  In the midst of the unknown... I will trust You.  In the face of trials... I will trust You.  In the hour of need... I will trust You.  And wait in anticipation of how You will reveal Your glory through this life of mine that You have chosen...  I am ready Lord... show me Your glory."
