Weekly Challenge

What a beautiful dialogue between the members of our class last night...and what a beautiful dialogue between the Lord and Moses.  At a quick glance it may seem hard for us to relate the story; we aren't accustomed to God showing up to speak to us through a burning bush, we have no real context of what living in physical bondage under an abusive polytheistic king is like, I doubt any of us have ever killed anyone and had authorities seeking to kill us.  However, despite all of these things we found many aspects of God that remain true in our context today because our God does not change.


The Lord HEARS us.
The Lord is PATIENT and LONGSUFFERING
The Lord LOVES his children
The Lord has HIS OWN TIMING
The Lord is in CONTROL and is SOVEREIGN
The Lord commands OBEDIENCE
The Lord utilizes PARTICIPATION from His children
The Lord is WITH YOU
The Lord has GIVEN TOOLS (the Word, the Holy Spirit)
The Lord uses our WEAKNESSES to glorify His name
The Lord CALLS US AS A UNIFIED COMMUNITY
The Lord MAKES THE PATH
The Lord's WILL WILL BE DONE

The Challenge:
Reflect over these attributes of God and discuss them with your spouse and children.  Talk about how you have experienced these characteristics during trials, successes and all aspects of life in the past.  Discuss how knowing and meditating on these things can prepare you for the future.

In Him,
Aaron
