The children of Israel were familiar with the trials of life. Life certainly wasn't all peachy keen for them. They wandered in the desert for 40 years and grumbled a lot. Later, they reminisced, recalling how God had taken care of every detail of their lives. Exodus 15 is a written record of those memories. Read it now, and list the provisions of God's faithfulness to Israel during the wilderness years. Which ones speak to your heart at this particular time? Do you see those as glimpses of God's glory?

God-Color Moment
Before continuing with this assignment read Psalms 66, 105, and 136. No matter what our circumstances we can always see glimpses of God's glory by rehearsing the history of His faithfulness thourghout our lives. If you examine your life closely you will see that He was faithful to you even before you knew Him and during those times you wandered in the wilderness. Spend some time now asking God to reveal to you the history of His faithfulness in your life. Write your own personal psalm of praise to Him for all those glimpses of His glory you have witnessed.

"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill." ~~Matthew 5:14, The Message
When Isaiah saw the LORD high and lifted up and the train of his robe filling the temple he saw his brokenness. Isaiah was a man of unclean lips and lived among a people of unclean lips. He also experienced God's tender mercy, and he was a changed man. When God asked, "Who will go for us?", Isaiah answered, "Here I am, send me?"
Allow yourself to glimpse the Glory of the Lord, come to a deep realization of your own brokenness, and encounter God's amazing grace and mercy. For Isaiah it was crude language holding him back from being all God had for him to be.
I was battling some very unhealthy beliefs about food because of childhood trauma. For you it may be shopping, smoking, facebook, electronic connectivity of all kinds, career, uncontrolled anger, unhealthy relationships -- you fill in the blank. It's whatever is blocking the position reserved for Jesus on the throne of your heart. God eagerly awaits your invitation for Him to renovate your heart as He did Isaiah's. When you aknowledge your brokenness and receive the tender mercies of God, like Isaiah you will find the Light of Jesus shining more brightly through you like a city on a hill drawing others to Him.
