When Your Heart's Not in It (But He Is)

What if the reason God refuses to give up on you has nothing to do with how well you are doing, and everything to do with whose you are? Most of us know what it is to hear God's call and hesitate. We drag our feet. We hold back. Not because we do not understand what he is asking, but because we have our own plans, and we are afraid of what following him might cost. If we are honest, we are often more committed to the life we have designed than to the life God is calling us to live. This week, Pastor Rob walked us through Exodus 4:18-31, where Moses finally sets out for Egypt. And right at the center of the passage, God tells Moses exactly why he will not let this mission go: "Thus says the LORD, Israel is my firstborn son... Let my son go that he may serve me" (Exodus 4:22-23). Here's the heart of it: God is fully committed to rescuing us and to working through us, not because of what we do for him, but because of who we are to him. What if you really believed this? What if, instead of wondering whether God sees you, you knew he does? Instead of wondering whether he cares, you knew he does? Instead of thinking he might care but will not act, you knew for certain that he already has? It would change the way we live. If you have been feeling unseen, or wondering whether God is paying attention to your life, we pray this message reminds you that you are his. Spend some quiet time this week with Exodus 4:22-23 and Colossians 2:11-14, and ask God to help you believe how deeply you are loved. Or share this with someone who needs to hear that God sees them too. Listen to the full sermon on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
