Fasting Devotion Day 18
READ
“And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” So the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.”” Exodus 33:14-18 NKJV
THINK
I so love this story because with everything Moses had accomplished and all he had seen his greatest desire to was see God. His utter devotion and love is humbling to me because if I’m honest I far too often have other joys and desires in my heart competing with God. Our God is so worthy of all our honor, love and devotion, yet He gives us the ability to choose to do so, willingly. There is nothing more satisfying than living life with God at our center. Yet many times, we allow other things to settle in and become the focus of our worship.
Setting aside time like during this season of prayer, fasting and personal devotion gets us more in tune with God. If things have gotten a bit out of place, we can put them back into alignment as we draw closer to God.
Is God the top priority in your life today? If not, what is taking His place? How can you restore Him to that place of honor He desires?
God’s promise to Moses in this moment is that He will give Moses rest. What are some areas in your life that need a spirit of rest?
PRAY
Today we come together in prayer that the most important thing would be the most important thing in our lives. God must be first and as a church if we are not careful we will remove Him from the throne of our hearts.
