The Word I Want to Use More — Glory!

Let God work in you the way that He worked in and through Jochebed, a Hebrew slave in Egypt. God used Jochebed to save her infant son from the Pharoah’s order of death for all newborn Hebrew boys. Here’s how she trusted in and relied on the Lord to save her son. She made a basket that would float by covering it with tar. Then Jochebed had her daughter put the newborn baby in the basket-boat and release him to float down the Nile River.

Soon the slave baby (condemned to death) was drawn out of the Nile River by the Pharoah’s daughter and into membership in the royal family with all its benefits. The Pharoah’s daughter named the baby Moses, which means “draw out.”

At 40 Moses was drawn out of great political power, wealth, and fame, and into the obscurity of the desert. At 80 he was drawn out of obscurity and into the impossible task of freeing the Hebrew slaves from Egypt. However, Moses was able to supernaturally speak for God, demonstrate phenomenal nation-wide miracles, and to draw out the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt, through the Red Sea, and into the glorious presence of God that set Mount Sinai on fire. That fire from God shined on Moses’ face so brightly that people wanted him to cover it up.

We humans have been covering up and avoiding God’s glory ever since. We look for human glory instead of God’s. But the opportunity to behold God’s glory wasn’t limited to Mount Sinai. “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” –2 Corinthians 3:14.

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Now is the time for Christ-followers to “Behold the Lamb of God,” to be personally and directly led from within by the Spirit throughout each day, and to radiate Christ’s presence and reality so that we can draw people out of the darkness and into the Light of the World! Now is the time for Christ-followers to be drawn out of routine religion and into Spirit-led awakening!

You may not remember Moses’ mother’s name, Jochebed. In Hebrew it means “the glory of the Lord.”

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” –Ephesians 3:20. Let the God of Moses work in you and draw you out of everything that hinders His Spirt from releasing His glory in and through you!
