Object:
In Tom Wilson's cartoon, Ziggy, who always seems to be struggling with his place in life, is standing in the doorway of his home. A gentleman has come to the door to greet him, carrying a salesman's case with OPPORTUNITY written on its side. But the salesman jovial says to Ziggy, "Don't get too excited, I only knocked to ask for directions!"
It seems when opportunity does knock on our door, we passively let it go to the neighbor's instead of seizing the opportunity for ourselves. Moses in our lesson could have stood back and passively watched the proceedings before him; but instead, as the scripture reads, "Moses entered the cloud."
In our call to Christian service, are we going to passively watch or aggressively step into the cloud, which is, entering into the presence of God?
