PA90 - Peace

Grace, Hope & Peace, Friend;

After God had given the Law to the Children of Israel at the foot of the mountain, God said to Moses. "Leave here and go up to the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the inhabitants. But I will not go up in your midst, because you are an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way." (Exodus 33:1-3)

When the people heard this, they went into mourning, so Moses went to God on their behalf. He wanted to know who God would send with them if God Himself wouldn't go with them. (Exodus 33:4-12) And Moses said

Now then, if I have found favor in Your sight in any way, please let me know Your ways so that I may know You, in order that I may find favor in Your sight. Consider too, that this nation is Your people.
	Exodus 33:13

"Please let me know Your ways so that I may know You"

What a confession of our limited understanding of God! God has made many promises to us in His word; But sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we can't imagine HOW He can keep those promises.

God told us, we don't think the way He does, nor do we do things the way He does! (Isaiah 55:8) Instead of being afraid and worrying about how He is going to keep His promises, we should ASK Him to show us. "How is what is happening, part of Your plan for me?" And, whether He shows you right away or not, trust that He is sovereign.

Just knowing Him brings peace!

Elohei HaShalom - God of Peace - show me Your plan for me so I can know You better. And, even if You don't show me immediately, thank You for revealing Yourself to me.

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
	John 17:3

Ask Him to show you,
