The story of God
Acts 7:32
“I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.”
What an amazing way of introducing yourself?!
I am talking about God.
Can you imagine your next generation encountering God and He meets them and says “I am the God of (insert your name)”?
The encouraging thing is that all 3 men were not perfect:
Abraham gave his wife away saying she was his sister.
Isaac did the same thing as his father with his wife Rebekah.
Jacob followed suit in being known as a deceiver and cheat.
But God became their God.
Let us not forget the commitment that God has towards us.
“I will be your God.”
It is not based on our ability but His love.
Such grace! He wants to be known as the God of you!
Now why did Moses respond like this?
Simply because he knew the story of God in all 3 of these men.
If the next generation are going to fear God then we are going to have to demonstrate to them the story of God in us. It won’t make us perfect and sometimes the story of God will have to reveal our weaknesses so that people can see His grace. But let us keep on living out the story of God that others may also respond to His calling after we have gone. That story is simple: “He knows He is my God. “
