Sermon from last Sunday
Check it out. I'd like your feedback as far as sound quality etc. Have a blessed week!
Wed. Jan 29, 2014
DEVOTION: Do not come any closer, God said, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." The he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God." The Story pg. 45 (bottom) and pg. 46 (top)
Every time we see people who are in the presence of God in the Scriptures it is always a dramatic scene. People are either falling down dead, lying prostrate on the floor with their faces on the ground, or hiding their face like Moses does in today's reading.
A lot of times I think we have become a little too casual, a little too at ease with God. We have brought God down to our level a bit too much. He is Almighty God after all. When we are in His presence we are on holy ground and we should treat it as such.
The trouble, or should I say the blessing, with that is God is present everywhere. There is nowhere that we aren't in His presence. It is a curse, because He sees our sin no matter where we are. There is no sin, no matter how big or small, that we can hide from Him.
Simultaneously it is also a blessing because His presence in us and with us has made us holy in spite of our sins. We need not fear His presence anymore like Moses and Isaiah did at first. We have had done to us what Isaiah had done to him in Isaiah 6:6-7. Our guilt has been taken away and our sin atoned for.
Now we live in His presence in reverent fear knowing that He has had mercy on us. We honor Him with our hearts, minds, and lives because He is our ever present help in time of trouble and He leads me through the valley of the shadow of death.
Prayer: Lord God thank you for being ever present in my life and for never leaving me or forsaking me. Holy Spirit, make me to honor you with my life! Amen.
