The journey with God means for me to live in a tent. To keep moving on – and nothing around me will be permanent. I will be a light traveler. I will not carry heavy baggage in this journey. It means I don’t attach values to things and experiences here. The only thing that’s precious to me is – the Kingdom of God. So the worries of future, busyness of a job, pressures of a program or ministry – none of it will have power to distract me from this journey. Everyday I will wake up to his voice, my spirit will feed on fresh manna and with the creator I will be in the business of creating – something that’s beautiful, peaceful and full of love – in me and in others.
With a sense of being on this journey with God, now my walk will be different. I will no longer live like a civilian exposed and vulnerable to attacks of the enemy. But as a soldier of the kingdom I will be very sure of my salvation, sure of my identity as a son of most high and will shield my heart with total faith in Christ. Fear and doubt will have no hold over me. I will trust the voice I hear. I will willingly meet the demands made on me. I will volunteer for challenges that refine me. I will trust in God’s love and love him back.
God redeemed Israelites from Egypt – to offer sacrifice and worship Him. He set them on a journey to bring them to a place – a place where they can forget the work, the slavery and all the bad things that were present in their life and just focus on God and worship him. See his wonderful work and glorify Him. Likewise I was redeemed and released in this journey of God to worship and offer my sacrifices to him. My devotion and loyalty is reserved only for God. My time, my thoughts, my passion, my admiration – He alone is worthy of it all.
In newness and freshness I should begin my day. God, what’s for today, I should ask him everyday. God loves speaking to us. God spoke to Moses and Aron when he was scheming the redemption of His people from Egypt. He works the same today. Moses had a tiny small part to play in the big and wondrous work of God. What’s that small part that I need to play today? (If what Moses did was tiny mine would be tinier as my pastor’s wife commented). Is it to forgive or to love? Is it to receive and embrace? Is it to bless or to heal? If I am available and waiting on God – He will surely speak to me.
I have got nothing to lose – nothing to risk. God is the one risking everything to have me on his journey. He is in risk of my rejection, my mis-interpretation, and my limitation. Sometimes I could get it totally wrong. Yet, he has set me on his journey as a partaker, as a daughter. And I know it’s not about me – but about God. What my God my King likes, wants and does – that’s all that matters in God’s journey.
