Hope
in the name
of God
The
book of exodus 33:13-15
“If
you are pleased with me, teach me Your ways so I may know you and continue to
find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people. The LORD
(ADONAI) replied, my presence will go with you and I will give you rest. Then
Moses said to Him, if your presence doesn’t go with us do not send us up from
here.”
This is really amazing verse from Bible. Moses
was the person who have seen the Creator with his own eyes, God was talking
with him face to face. Moses have seen
the power and victory of God, before him God has split the sea, Moses was the
person who saw that invincible Pharaon
of Egypt was powerless before true God. He was on the mountain 4o days
in the presence of almighty. During all this 40 days and nights he was in the
presence of Creator. Nowadays we sometimes pray one hour and after we
think:_omg, I prayed so much, it is enough today.” But Moses was before God 40
days, he saw God’s power and beauty but still he is asking to Him:”pls God,
teach me your ways, I want to know you more.” Really? Moses are you joking? You
were so close with Him, you saw Him, and you don’t know him yet? Why Moses
asked this to Him? There is something much more interesting here than we can
imagine. Moses knew that Creator more great and wonderful than we can ever
think about. Moses understood that he needs millions and billions of years to
know God perfectly. God is the God of wonders and Moses knew this. We think by
mistake that one hour in God’s presence is enough, but it is not true. Many
time when we are talking about Biblical heroes, we think that they were losers
or uneducated people, but it is not true, may be we think his because we
watched many movies about it. Moses was the one of the biggest person in
Egypt,He was the member of Pharaon’s family ,he was the prince of Egypt. He was
very very educated,he knew everything about Egyptian Gods and all about magic
rituals. Egypt that times had thousands of gods and the level of Egyptian
school was very high.
And
Moses also knew about his Hebrew roots and about One true God. Moses was the
one of the most educated person in Egypt, nothing could surprise him,but he met
YHWH and he understood that God is more amazing and great than all Egyptian
gods. That’s why he asked Him:”pls teach me your ways to know you more.”
There is no God,more powerful and great than
God of Israel,our King. Bible says that everything will pass away but God will
never pass away. Turn back of the book of exodus 3:13-15
14”God
said to Moses “I am YHWH, this is what you are to say to the Israelits. YHWH
has sent me to you.” (original Hebrew translate)
In
English bible we read “I AM WHO I AM” but it is not right translation. The name
of God means “I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE”
The one of the famous Rabi Rashe said about God’s name: ’early rabies
understand the name of God like this-HE WHO WAS WHO IS AND IS TO COME. In the
other words it Means that Our King never changes and He is coming again. Why it
is important to know God’s name? because many believers know God by His titles,
they know that God is almighty, powerful, that He is God of peace, God of love,
God of justice, God of mercy but not every believer knows Him by His brilliant
name. why? Because sometimes we prefer to relax, to run away from God. In all
Bible God is calling us:”search me and I will open myself to you.” (Jeremia
33:3) God doesn’t want from us only religion, He wants to be our father, He
wants to be our King and it is impossible if we don’t want to know Him. And if
want to know Him we must take a time an read His word-Bible. God opened Himself
to Moses, why Moses? because Moses
wanted to know Him more. He wanted to know God’s nature, His heart. How many of
us today want to know God’s heart, His nature?
God wants to be close with us, He wants to show us that if we trust Him
and know Him,he will show us His victory. There is the power in the name of God
YHWH. God shows us by His holly name that he never changes, He is the same
today,like He was thousand years ago. His name gives us hope, and this hope is
catching us to not fall. The only thing that God wants to say to you today is
to “DON’T GIVE UP,I AM WITH YOU,I HAVE THE POWER TO PROTECT YOU,DON’T GIVE.”
God
is the same today, that’s why we can trust Him, because He never broke His
promises. When we know who is our King, we understood like Moses understood,
that we have a victory. Maybe our enemies today trie to destroy us, but our
King YHWH,YESHUA is the same today,and he will protect us from our enemies like
he was protecting David thousand years ago. May God’s peace be with you today.
