GOD COMES DOWN TO YOU

We all know the amazing story of how God revealed Himself to Moses way out on the back side of the desert. God who is a consuming fire, and yet never consumed, revealed Himself to Moses in the burning bush that was not consumed and spoke these words: "I AM THAT I AM" (Exodus 3:14). God told Moses to tell the children of Israel that "I AM hath sent me unto you."

But in the very next verse, v.15, God said, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." How amazing! God first reveals His sovereignty, divinity, and majesty, but then He immediately reveals Himself as the God who relates to us in our humanity.

I am the God of your fathers and this is the name by which you will know Me forever. Although God's glory is higher than the heavens, He comes down to be our personal God. In this same passage, God says to Moses, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I AM COME DOWN TO DELIVER THEM."

God also comes down to you dear mother. Although He is the high a lofty God He comes down to you in your home--with all your little children needing you at once. He comes down to you in your kitchen when you are trying to prepare the food, but at the same time the phone is ringing, the baby needs nursing, children can't find their clothing, and your husband is waiting for his kiss goodbye.

Don't panic. Relax. God is with you. He wants to reveal Himself to you in what you are facing right now.
