I remember several years ago there was commercial campaign for either an insurance company or an investment company. Anyway, the basis of these commercials was to help potential customers understand that no matter where you are in life, a new one can begin right there with the product of the company. The commercials had a red dot that was under the feet of people, if I remember correctly. The red dot would indicate the situation(s) of that person. The phrase 'You Are Here' was associated with these spots.
As I think about this, I am reminded of the Israelites and their wilderness
experience after God had delivered them from Egypt. When the people thought Moses was no longer with them, they pressured Aaron to do things a different way, without God. That's what we do. When we don't see God in our situations immediately, we move to do things our own way. That causes the wrath of a jealous God. But when we look at Moses, after he consulted with God, he told the Lord "If you don't go with us personally, don't let us move a step from this place..."
Believers, we are here. However we got here or whatever got us here, we are here in this place. It might be a place of struggle. It might be a place of despair. It might be a place of joy. But whatever the place and experience, we are here. But like Moses, let's declare the Glory of The Lord and decide that we are not moving another step unless it is Him and He is with us. 'You are here.' Now what?
