Show up when God calls

Aaron was the forefather of the intercessors that served the people of God from the time they were in Egypt, to the day Jesus’ full and complete priesthood was established. What were Aaron’s qualifications? He obeyed when God called.

In Exodus 4, we see Moses explaining to God why God’s plan won’t work. He thinks that God’s asking too much of him. He says that God must not realize that Moses just isn't a talker, or that the people are too hard headed to receive the message. Moses says to God, “Here’s how we need to change your plan.” It’s often our first response to react, adjust, or try to tailor the world to our desires. Moses fills Exodus 4 with words that oppose what God has said, where he should rightly have sat and listened.

We don’t know if Aaron said anything at all in response to God’s call, but we do know that he listened and obeyed. Exodus 4:27 tells us that God called, “…so he went.” Where have you substituted your plan for God's plan?

Where in your life can you respond to God's invitation?
