BEHOLD…
This word fascinates me. It is an invitation to stop. It is an instruction to position yourself to SEE that there is something you need to take note of. Not just in the observation but in recognizing that if you will pause, and take note of something God is trying to LOCK into your GAZE, then perhaps what you are looking at— has the power to impact WHAT you are becoming in the process of observing it.
Like Moses when he TURNED ASIDE…
Exodus 3:2-4
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 And when the LORD saw that HE TURNED ASIDE TO SEE, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. KJV
It is interesting that the LORD appeared unto him—but it was the burning bush MOSES saw. It did not say that Moses saw the LORD. He saw the BUSH burning. Moses Stopped. Turned aside to SEE. It wasn’t until Moses turned aside to SEE, that GOD CALLED unto him.
Locked in the GAZE of a BEHOLD moment, God was showing Moses that WHO HE WAS—was about to change. Moses’s power to BE– something more was COMING.
BEHOLD.
Here is a thought…
Perhaps you have been wondering what is next? Maybe you are moving through life at a pace that limits your ability to BE your BEST or to become more. Could it be that you have over looked a BEHOLD moment? What if the thing you long too BECOME is found on the other side of a BE – HOLD?
What if GOD is trying to get you to LOCK into a GAZE with HIM long enough to hear him CALLING…
Listen…
Hear that still small voice…
