Following the Voice of Promise by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
THE PROMISE OF GOD through Moses was a clearly-voiced clarion call that should have guided the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt across a desert terrain and into a land of milk and honey. “I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.” (Ex. 6:8) The people did not listen, and so a generation passed, literally, in the desert, before the earlier promise could be realized. God spoke through Moses again to the new generation: “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.” (Deut. 30:19) The core principle of that ancient challenge remains today, and it remains to see if we will listen.
