He will speak to the people for you. He will be your spokesman, and it will be as if you were God to him. — Exod 4:16 BSB

This was God's promise to Moses and the high role Moses was to play toward Aaron, his brother. Doesn’t this suggest a glorious position we can hold toward everyone we meet—representing God to them?

What dignity and purpose this gives to our lives if we realize this calling! How differently we would act toward others! God is always dependable, without change or shadow of turning. His word is unshakable, and we can trust Him without hesitation. Oh, that we might live so that others can trust us as they trust God!

Moreover, God has no needs. He is always giving, rich toward all who call on Him. His nature is love—selfless and overflowing with generosity toward all His creation. The Divine life is one of self-forgetfulness, a life of love and blessing.

Let us live in such a way that we represent our Master here, just as He represents us before the throne in heaven.
