Respond To God's Initiatives

From: Ambassadors For Christ International - John North

Exodus 33:12-14 "Then Moses said to the Lord...'If I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You…And the Lord said, 'My presence shall go with you...'"

Christianity really only works right when we are responding to God’s initiatives. If our attempt is simply to live the way we think God wants, rather than a personal response to His presence in our life, we will struggle with frustration.

God is present and active in our life. But we must stop and pay attention and learn to recognize His presence and activity. God is speaking to us through His Word. But we need to change the way we read, so that we are not just reading content, but listening for the Holy Spirit’s voice coming to us personally through the Scriptures.

Ask God to meet with you in prayer right now. Ask Him to begin to help you be more aware of His presence and His initiative in your life. Make your whole life a response to God. Like Moses, say to God: "let me…know You."
