A Part of Something Bigger

Moreover, He said, "I am the God of your father - the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, and the God of Jacob" An Moses his his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. - Exodus 3:6

We tend to think, esp, in today's thinking, only of the present. We want immediate results and lack a sense of eternity. We often act as if God had not been working at all where we were before. He approached us. We expected that anything God does through us will be completed while we can see the results. We become impatient if God intends to complete what He began in us through another person or even another generation.

Moses came to understand that his involvement in God's work was in context of hundreds of years of divine activity. When Moses came face to face with the same God who had guided his forefathers, he was deeply humbled. Do you sense that your life is a part of God's eternal purposes?

Can we have the patience to wait for an answer, can we appreciate the fact that God may answer your prayers though your kids or even your grandkids? This is a difficult concept, but one that I have seen and have appreciated recently. His plan is perfect, and true, and will be completed in his time.
