Hello, warriors. Welcome back to "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast". This is your host, Matthew Adams. Today, we're examining the life of a young man who truly knew the heart of God, Joshua, and focusing on Exodus 33:11.
Exodus 33:11 provides an intimate glimpse into the unique relationship between Joshua and God. Unlike others who either underestimated or idolized Moses' connection with God, Joshua saw it for what it was - extraordinary yet accessible. Today, we'll break down this passage into three detailed points to better understand the lessons Joshua's story holds for us.
Point 1: Understanding God's Impartiality:
First, Joshua recognized that God does not play favorites. As stated in Acts 10:34, Romans 2:11, and Galatians 2:6, God's love and grace are not exclusive, they are available to all who seek Him. Joshua knew this, and it gave him the confidence to aspire to a deep, personal relationship with God, just as Moses had.
Point 2: Embracing the Attainable:
Second, Joshua shows us the importance of seeing the extraordinary as attainable. While many were awestruck by Moses' relationship with God, Joshua saw it as something he too could experience. He knew that God's communication with Moses was unprecedented, but he also knew it was not unrepeatable. His attitude encourages us to always pursue a deeper relationship with God, no matter how far-off it may seem.
Point 3: Commitment to Presence:
Finally, Joshua teaches us about the power of remaining in God's presence. Even when Moses left the Tent of Meeting, Joshua chose to stay. His commitment speaks volumes about his hunger for God's presence and shows us the way to a deeper connection with the divine.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Joshua's story invites us to adopt a similar approach in our relationship with God. We are encouraged to understand God's impartiality, embrace the attainable, and commit to staying in His presence. If we do this, like Joshua, we too can experience an extraordinary relationship with God.
Call to Action:
Now, it's your turn. Reflect on these lessons and ask yourself: How can I be more like Joshua? Can I embrace the attainable, remain committed to God's presence, and understand His impartiality? Consider these questions this week and strive to implement these lessons in your life.
Let’s Pray…Dear Lord, thank you for the inspiring story of Joshua. We ask for the courage and wisdom to emulate his faith. Help us understand your impartiality, embrace the extraordinary as attainable, and commit to remaining in your presence. Give us the strength to seek you tirelessly and the humility to stay in your presence even after others have left. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
Thank you for joining me today on "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast". May you have a blessed day, filled with God's whispers and guidance.
