When Moses spoke to God he used concrete terms. In a most astonishing prayer Moses said, “If your Presence does not go with us, what else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” (Exodus 33:16). God alone made Israel noticeable. He identified with them. That God is no mere whim or fantasy. He is in constant action on earth; our God lives and acts. He remains the same. Jesus was here and “went about doing good and delivering all who were oppressed by the devil” (Acts 10:38). It would be a hollow “sameness” if He didn’t do the same things. It was the great promise of Jesus to be with us for ever. The Holy Spirit would take over His agenda. The Spirit is the active Spirit of Jesus. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and … us - the syndicate of salvation, resourced by omnipotence. And we are invited to participate! What a high honor. We are made noticeable. He will bless you today.
