Scripture: Exodus 18:5
Then
Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the
wilderness where he was camped, at the mount of God.
Insights: Notice
where Moses met his father-in-law. It
was at the mount of God, otherwise known as Mount Sinai. This mountain is the same one in which Moses
encountered God at the burning bush.
This mountain is the one where God promised Moses that he would return
and worship Him on that mountain. This
mountain was a key location in the life of Moses because it was here that he
felt, met and surrendered to God and His will.
There are key locations in our lives as well. For many young people it was a specific youth
camp in a specific location. For others
it was a particular geographic scenic view that captured their heart and
brought them into the presence of God.
Still for others it was a particular piece of furniture in which they
regular met with God in daily quiet time and prayer and regularly God spoke to
them there. The point is this: we need to
cherish these key locations and remember them because of the key truths or
promises God gave to us in these locations.
Just as God promised Moses that he would worship Him back on this mount
of God, so He gives you promises and those promises never fail. As you remember those key locations think
back on the encounter with God. Don’t
only think about the visual majesty, but on the specific relationship you had
with God Almighty. Those reflections
will help carry you through many days of hardship and pain.
Questions:
- What are some key locations in which you have
experienced the presence of God?
- What are some specific truths or promises God shared
with you at these location?
Prayer: Father, You have
created so many beautiful places and have used them so often to speak to my
heart. Thank You for the joy of Your
creation. Continue, please, meeting me
at those locations of significance. Amen.
