The more I read in Exodus the more I am amazed at the thought,
--What exactly made Moses Gods man?--
And
--What exactly made the Israelites Gods people?--
He was broken, he often felt weak and inadequate of flesh and heart, he questioned his ability, he even got angry and lost his temper at times...
They were weak and easily led astray, yet "stiff necked" and stubborn also, they grumbled and complained, they doubted and faltered, they were chained physically and in many other ways, as well-emotionally, mentally, spiritually-they were captives.
Mess after mess-yet, they were chosen by God. They were favored, he was called, they were His chosen!
I long for God to lead me out of my chains. Out of captivity, into freedom; for His favor to rest on me, though I know I am undeserving.
The Exodus-meaning-the journey... From captivity into freedom... I am gaining vision to see the areas the enemy has captured me for many years. God is opening my eyes to see so that I can pray and be more aware to this prowling lions attack--no longer will I be his easy prey. So, in my weak messy state today, I find myself asking God humbly...
God would you please rest your favor upon me? I know I am but dust, weak and faltering. Yet I know your greatness can overshadow my weakness and empower me to be your woman. God, may You be glorified in me! Lead me by your merciful hand and forgive me in my failures and sins. Keep me from the tempter and strengthen my weak and feeble heart to stand victorious in any battle I may face. You know I've purposed to invite you into my emotions this year and you've seen me struggle. Please shine your glory into my heart, mind, emotions and life and lead me victorious! Be my victory Jesus-God!
In Jesus name I pray, amen!
