The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn't dwell in temples made with hands, neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things. Acts 17:24 WEBWhen I was growing up, we us... -

Great Adventures

Yahweh said to Aaron, 'Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.' He went, and met him on God's mountain, and kissed him. Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had charged him. Exodus 4:27 WEB
The Lord spoke to Aaron and told him to go meet his brother Moses in the wilderness. We do not really know what Aaron was doing when the Lord first spoke to him. I am sure that he had plans for the afternoon like we all do. He may have been at home or out gathering straw to make bricks. After all, he was a slave in Egypt.
Aaron had not seen his brother Moses in a long time. Though Moses had been raised in Egypt, he had to leave after killing a slave driver, and afterwards he lived in exile, while Aaron and their sister Miriam had remained in Egypt. Forty years passed by.
Then the day came when the Lord told Aaron to go meet his little brother, and when he did, a life changing adventure began for all of them. Aaron could not have known what was coming, how he would become an important part of changing the known world, and witness miracle after miracle. It all started by hearing the voice. Jesus said 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me' (John 10:27). We know that God spoke to Moses, but we often forget that he spoke to Aaron as well.
Everything starts with a first step. God prompts you to do something, a door opens, and you take that step. When you obey, another door will open and you take another step. The adventure will not begin until you take step one, and you will not see step two until you have completed the first one. If you feel God prompting you today to do something: take the step. If Aaron had not, he would have missed the greatest adventure of his life.
Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You for all that You have done for me, and for bringing me this far. Please give me a clear vision of what You have for me, and show me where my time is best spent. Lead me into adventures for You, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.> You can subscribe to our daily devotional here <

Oh my a mountain theme this morning!!
Every night Lilly, my 5 year old and I say our prayers. She is pure and deligent. Even if she is tired, she will say an Our Father and Hail Mary and then prays for our family. It's refreshing, like a miracle cause I feel it comes from within her, not something I taught her. So I asked her to pray for me that my "Mountain" will go away and I would have more faith. I asked her one time, now every night she remembers.
This morning I awoke to this in prayer.
MOUNTAIN RANGE
"He came to Horeb, the mountain of God." —Exodus 3:1
There are many mountains in life. For example, Mount Gerizim is the mountain of blessings for God's obedient people, while Mount Ebal is the mountain of curses (Dt 27:12-13). Mount Sinai (Horeb) is the mountain of the commandments (Ex 19:2ff), and Mount Carmel is the mountain of restoring our covenant with God and overcoming idolatry and false prophets (1 Kgs 18:19ff). Ultimately, Jesus wants us to walk with Him to Mount Calvary, by which we draw "near to Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem" (Heb 12:22).
To start climbing God's mountain range, we need to begin as Moses began — on Mount Horeb (Ex 3:1). There we see God in the burning bush (Ex 3:2-4). We see God consuming us by the fire of His love (see Heb 12:29). On Mount Horeb, we hear God call our names (Ex 3:4) and reveal to us His name (Ex 3:14). Mount Horeb is holy ground (Ex 3:5). Here we take off our shoes (Ex 3:5) and humble ourselves. On Mount Horeb, we enter into the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (Ps 111:10) and of much of the Christian life. On Mount Horeb, God calls us to set His people free.
Climb Mount Horeb. Hear your Father call you by name.
The Apostle Paul siad in Romans 10:15; How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How Beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good thing." There are a lot of people preaching, but I wonder how many are called to do so. Just as God sent Moses and Aaron, I think He should be the one to send preachers. Listen for the VOICE!
Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You for all that You have done for me, and for bringing me this far. Please give me a clear vision of what You have for me, and show me where my time is best spent. Lead me into adventures for You, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. <3
