MOSES IS AMAZING!

Moses is amazing! If you are not familiar with his story, I encourage you to meet this amazing man over many cups of coffee and several days. If you are familiar with his story, read it with fresh eyes asking God for new revelation.

The more I learn about Moses, the more I see a prophetic picture of Jesus through him. The most important reason, Moses repeatedly interceded on behalf of the rebellious and ungrateful Israelites acting as their savior. Deuteronomy 9:25 is one instance where Moses describes how he intercedes to save them from destruction. Jesus acted as our intercessor while he lived with us on earth and continues to intercede at the right hand of the Father after love compelled him to the cross to die for our sins. Jesus saved us from eternal destruction separated from God forever.

Moses delivered the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage equipped with the authority and anointing of God. Jesus was sent to set the captive free and continues to deliver us from evil.

Along with similarities are differences between Moses and Jesus. Visit my blog to stay tuned for more. I can’t go today without saying, the most important difference between Moses and Jesus is: Moses is dead and Jesus is alive! Jesus loves you today and speaks to those who trust Him. If you have never met Jesus, I encourage you to many cups of coffee for the rest of your life with the man of your dreams and the one who died for you.

God Bless you!

WAITING ON A SEED

I love nature. The outdoors invigorates me. Digging in the garden, planting flowers or veggies, and general yard cleanup is great therapy for me. While reading a magazine to help prepare my yard for spring, I found a quote I adore. Henry David Thoreau penned these words: “Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.”
Mr. Thoreau was speaking of a seed in nature. As he said, he has great faith in a seed. Why? Rarely does a seed planted in soil disappoint or surprise. Seeds sprout in the toughest of conditions; sometimes in spite of their circumstance. Look around your outside world for evidence. Notice trees growing in a rocky cliff or weeds thriving in your lawn despite heroic efforts to eliminate them. Also, seeds produce their own kind. No surprises. Plant a tomato seed and yield a tomato harvest. Plant a sunflower seed and expect a sunflower. God planned it this way (Gen. 1:11).
This quote has become a great faithbuilder to me in the last couple weeks. I have been consistently doing the right thing in particular for several weeks with no apparent good result. Have you ever been there? Can you feel my pain? I have been planting seeds of persistence, determination, and discipline but have yet to see the fruit of my labor. However, I can rest in the assurance God provides for those who do the right thing. God’s word says in 2 Thess. 3:13, “…do not become weary or lose heart in doing right (but continue in well doing without weakening).” If seeds in nature rarely disappoint, how much more must seeds of the Spirit reap a harvest. If you are like me and keep doing the right thing but haven’t seen improvement yet; keep the faith! Take heart, have courage and rejoice when breakthrough comes. We have planted our seed; therefore, expect wonders.
Blessings,
Theresa
