REALITY‭ ‬3:‭ ‬God invites you to become involved with Him in His work

God is the sovereign ruler of the universe.  He has been working throughout history to accomplish His purposes. He does not ask us to dream our dreams for Him.  He does not invite us to set magnificent goals and then pray that He will help us achieve them.  He already has His own agenda when He approaches us.  His desire is to get us from where we are to where He is working.  He leads us from being self-centred to being God-centered.  When God reveals to you where He is working, that becomes His invitation to join Him in His activity.  When God reveals His work to you, that is the time to respond to Him.

In Moses’ story, God’s purpose was to rescue the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and to establish them as a nation in their own land.  Moses was the one through whom God intended to accomplish His plans.  God invited Moses to become involved with Him in His work: “I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and to bring them from that land to a good and spacious land…Therefore, go.  I am sending you to Pharaoh so that you may lead My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt” (Exodus 3:8, 10).  It would never have crossed Moses’ mind to do something like this had God not invited him.  Yet suddenly Moses was being summoned to join in a work that God had been preparing centuries for.
