All of us have a gravitational pull toward conforming to this world. And I’m not an anti-this world guy, but listen, this world can make a lot of money off of you if you will be conformed to it.

I mean, the algorithm is designed to conform you. “People who bought this also bought” or “suggested for you” or “you might also like.” The problem with it all isn’t if you buy something else on Amazon. The problem is that some of the messages of the world are not healthy – spiritually, mentally or emotionally.

Conforming to the world will convince you that you’ve got to do something, wear something, drive something, be something in order to be somebody. And you can get in some really dark places because of this. But we don’t arrive at who we are by mistake. Our patterns form us. And if we aren’t careful, conforming to the world’s patterns can damage our spiritual health. Conforming our minds to a repetition of behaviors or input or relationships that constantly reinforce the world’s sense of reality, might have you thinking that there’s not really an unseen world or a spiritual element to the unseen you.

But there is another way.

God wants to renew your mind. And you have a role to play. You can create patterns that produce spiritual health. You just have to decide if you think your spiritual reality will make a difference in everything else.

The you everyone sees is not the real you. You are not your physical traits, skin tone, hair color or hairstyle. You’re not tall, short, young or older. You’re not even how your voice sounds. The real you is unseen. It’s the conversation you’ve had with yourself in your head and heart.

How do you measure trust? Trust is often intangible, especially when it comes to God and faith. And our trust is often hard to quantify. We're going to finish this series called Trusting God by looking at one of the final challenges Moses gives to the Israelites in the Book of Exodus. And their trust will be measured with time and money.

Trusting God can be difficult. It's easy to do the right thing when we know the why and we know the how. It's much harder when we don't understand the path forward. But it's in the unknown that we encounter God.

Trusting God won’t always make sense. There will be times you’ll wonder if God is on your side. There will be times you doubt. REMEMBER, God is faithful. He has been good to you. He’ll be faithful again. God can make a way when it doesn’t make sense.

God’s plan doesn’t always go according to our plan. It's an uncomfortable truth. But you can embrace it. Embrace the messiness, the brokenness, the zig-zagging roller-coaster of emotions. Because our God is a God of purpose, and who you stand with is greater than what you stand against.

There is a God. He has called you. He will go with you. This is going to be the message to Moses and the people of Israel. But these statements of truth leave us with a choice that lands one what this series and Moses’ story seems to be all about: Will you believe in God? Will you obey God? Will you trust God? Those statements don’t do much good without our actions. When we act on those truths, God’s purposes on earth come to life, and that’s never been seen more vividly than with Moses.

Am I going to trust God? Every single one of us has to decide what we’re going to do with this question. At some point, what God says takes precedence in our lives or something else does, and I believe the decisions we make over and over again are what shape our character and create our destiny.

People think that they don’t belong with Jesus because of their behavior. They don’t look, talk or act like a Christian, and that stops people from coming to church because they don’t consider themselves church people. They can’t get over what they see when they look in the mirror. We have a hard time believing that we could ever be anything other than what we’ve always been. But belonging to the Kingdom of God does not look like belonging to the Kingdoms of this world. Behavior modification isn’t a requirement for belonging to Jesus. You can belong before you become.

Jesus wants a seat at your table. Your past, history, name, occupation, reputation, or character does not intimidate him. You belong here. And you belong with Jesus.
