I think it would change our lives if we realized the closeness of God when we pray; His position as King; our sinfulness; and His desire - based on Christ’s sacrifice - to use us in His Kingdom plan.

1. Realize (that God is present)

2. Recognize and Repent (sin)

3. Respond (send me)

If God came and spoke to you today, would you know it? Would you recognize His voice, hear His Heart? Or could God tell you “never-mind” and walk away without you caring? Samuel learned to Hear from God and he honored that privilege by sharing God’s Word completely, clearly, and truthfully. How bout you? Are you truly listening to God’s Words? What are you doing with it?

1. No Word From God

2. God’s Word to One

3. One’s Word to All

What if God actually has a plan?... not simply a solution to each problem as they systematically pop up… but a plan, a strategy… what if you were tailor made for that plan?! Ask yourself… Is God Among Us, and has He designed a plan for my life? And if you determine, as you should, that He has… then what does your response need to be?

God approaches Gideon, someone who is completely unlikely and unexpecting, and calls him to take a lead role in the revealing of God’s Kingdom on Earth...And I want you ask yourself… Is God Among Us, calling ME to action?? … and maybe today is the day that you need to respond… challenge Him if you need to, but maybe it’s time… to say yes… to Worship… but the kind of Worship that allows Him to use you to reveal His Kingdom to others.

Here’s the outline of how this moment goes down

1. The Encounter

2. The Call

3. The Challenge

4. The Response (Worship)

Think about this… Is God Among Us, and does He fight for us, or against us; through us, or in-spite of us? Maybe today, you need to change your perspective… He fights for His Glory, to make His Name known, to lead others to Worship Him, and, yes, that does involve us acting in obedience by faith.

I’ll be honest with you, I’m feeling challenged this week by the fact that God’s presence is with His people here in Exodus, and they all worship, but not in equal measure… only Moses has a friend-to-friend time with God… and I’m praying that my life would be like his, not just standing in the doorway worshipping at a distance.
