A Word (or two) from Mark

Moses had an amazing journey.  God prepared this man over an 80 year span for his life work.  God described Moses as someone who He would speak to face to face.  Yet as Moses began the third phase of his life, he was uncertain.  He raised a lot of objections before being willing to do as God asked him to do.  One of the things to note about this is our human tendency to need more than just someone’s word.  God’s word on any matter ought to be sufficient.  But often we need additional support. We ask for a sign; we ask for peace; we ask for the confirmation of others.  At times this may truly be a part of hearing God’s voice.  But at other times, it may well be a reluctance to trust God completely.  As I reflect on Moses’ objections to God’s mission for his life, and I reflect on my own journey I see the same tendency.  As we grow in faith, I think God’s word on any matter becomes enough to calm our fears.  He doesn’t lie.  He doesn’t go back on His promises.  He is worthy of our trust.  Is His word enough for you?
