5 The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 6 The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” ~ Exodus 34:5-7
When the LORD called Moses, He didn’t call him, tell him what to do, then send him out alone unprotected with no help. No, instead, the LORD God Himself got off of His throne and went before Moses, declaring His name and character. God didn’t just leave Moses alone; He went before him, clearing the way. And our God does not change. Therefore, if He went before Moses, He will go before each and every one of us.
We don’t fight the good fight alone. Jesus already fought the fight and won. He overcame so that we can also overcome through Him. The LORD has gone before us, declaring His name and all He has done for us. That doesn’t mean that we don’t have to fight anymore; Moses still had to go behind the LORD and do all that the LORD commanded him. Therefore, we still have to work and run the race until Jesus comes back for us but be encouraged for the LORD Himself dwells with us and in us. He is the one who helps us fight our battles. We are not alone.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Follow Behind the LORD.
