Plans, decisions, going forward… do you depend on someone else or yourself to come up with solid plans for the future?  Followers of Christ, do you seek God and ask what He wants you to do?

Moses went to the tent of meeting to talk with the living God and to listen to Him.

At one point, Moses was in a quandary.  Have you ever been in a place you didn’t know what the next step was going to be?

The LORD told Moses that He, God, would not go with Moses or the two million plus people into the land He promised them.  Why?  Because they were obstinate, stubborn people!
It was like God saying, ‘I have had it with you as a people!’
Exodus 33:3
  However they were still His people and nothing would change that.

Moses said to the LORD, ‘You told me to bring this people to the land You have in mind.    But, You have not told me who is going with me to lead this people.  You also told me “I have known you by name” and you also said, “I have found favor in Your sight.”

Moses then said one of the most profound statements we should take to heart:
“If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.”  Exodus 33:15

  How did the LORD respond?  “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name.”  Exodus 33:17

Could this be your prayer?
‘O LORD, please lead and go with me into new situations this week, this month, this year – I do not want to go where you do not lead.’

~ Take it to heart ~

For what will you now ask of the LORD?

‘May my life be led by You,
step by step into the future of today.
In the name of Jesus, Amen’
