Moses: …God..show me your plan…

God’s response: I will go with you. And I will give you victory.

Of course, no one likes to be kept in the dark.

God has given Moses an assignment to lead His people from Egypt to the land He promised them.

This was a hard job for Moses. He asked God for His plans. The way He intends to orchestrate the mass exodus, the emigration, of His people from Egypt.

As a matter of fact, in any profession, you will need a plan in order to execute your job effectively.

Of course, God has a plan but it was not as Moses or any of us will view things because God does not think the way man thinks; He does not work the way man work. (Isaiah 55:8-9)

God responded by informing Moses that His presence will go with Him and give him rest.

“The Lord replied, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’”

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭33‬:‭14‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬

Further, in the same chapter, God showed Moses a sign of His greatness; also to assure Moses of His guaranteed presence and rest He will always have.

I’m so many ways, we can relate to this story.

We desire to know God’s plans, His ways, His purpose, His assignment for us as a child, student, adult…,

We put the cart before the horse.

Invariably, when we put the cart before the horse; our movement get thwarted; because something done in the wrong order will not be effective.

God’s order is

-seek My presence

-love me with all your heart

-Fellowship with me

-Commune with me

And as we take time in God’s presence, being conscious of His presence, as apostle Peter mentioned in 1 Peter 1:18 and I quote -

“Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God…”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭21‬ ‭MSG‬‬

God will open up to us, as a book, page by page, the purpose and plans / ways to execute the assignment He has given us.
