Meditate.
But
Moses protested to God, "Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to
lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?" God answered, "I will be
with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you: When you
have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very
mountain." But Moses protested, "If I go to the people of Israel and
tell them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' they will ask me,
'What is his name?' Then what should I tell them?" God replied to Moses,
"I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to
you." God also said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel:
Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember
for all generations. Exodus 3:11-15
Moses
pleaded—he protested. He didn't destroy anything...he just verbally objected. He was speaking to God…almost face to face. They were
having a conversation. That’s what we consider today as prayer…but Moses was
right there in God’s presence. Actually, we are in the presence of God whenever
we choose to pray, to read His word, worship or just focus on Him. He has
promised to never leave us or forsake us—so He is always with us. We are in His
presence…standing or sitting on Holy Ground.
God
identified Himself as “I AM.” He is God. He also told Moses to tell the
Hebrew people in Egypt...Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my
eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.
So God
spoke…and Moses listened. Prayer is like that. We don’t need to do all the
talking—we need to listen, too. Our God is a powerful and awesome God, living
eternally. He was there for Adam and Eve. He was there for Moses, Job, Ruth, David,
Jonah, the disciples, Paul and Timothy. He is here for everyone, for all generations. Do you believe in Him? Do you believe in Jesus—the Son
of God who gave His life on a cross for all of mankind’s sin—for your sin and
for mine?

| God loves the world...and all the people. Do you love Him? |
God loves
the world—this wonderful place He created…and the people He created.
For God loved the world so
much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him
will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to
judge the world, but to save the world through him. There is no judgment
against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has
already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son. John
3:16-18
Relationships
are the most important thing on earth. Do you agree with that?
Your
relationship with God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—is the most important thing
you’ll ever experience. It is of greater significance than your bond with your
parents, spouse, children, friends, other relatives, neighbors, co-workers.
How do you
establish this relationship with God? You just talk to Him…recognize that you,
like all humans, are a sinner. (Romans 3:10) Confess that sin and turn away from it…that is
called repenting. You’ll probably sin again…we all do, but you can ask for
forgiveness for that mistake.
But if we confess our sins to
him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
wickedness. 1 John 1:9
Believe in
Jesus as your Savior…that He did die on the cross for you. (Romans 10:9-10)
Call on the name of Jesus…and you will be saved. (Romans 10:13) Things in life
change quickly. Don’t put off making this decision to establish a relationship
with God. Tell Him you love Him. He loves you.
Prayer
~ Lord God, while there is still time, hear the prayers of those seeking You as
their Savior. Thank you for this plan for eternal life with You—all who believe
in Jesus will have eternal life (John 3:16). I love you with all my heart,
soul, mind and strength.
Verses
of Salvation ~ If you don’t know Jesus as your Savior, seek Him while there
is still time. Consider the ABC’s of salvation.
A – Acknowledge or Admit that you are a
sinner.
No one is righteous—not even one. Romans
3:10
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short
of God's glorious standard. Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
B – Believe in your heart that Jesus is the
Son of God
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God,
and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. Romans 10:9-10
C – Call on the Name of the Lord
Everyone
who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved. Romans 10:13
Don’t wait…make your decision to believe in
Jesus…in God… today. Life is short…we don’t know when our time will be up…or
when the Lord will return for His church.
