I remember exactly how I felt the moment I stepped foot in Port au Prince, Haiti, for the first time. I just about had a panic attack. The sight of swollen bellies and fly-ridden hair, tattered clothes and lifeless eyes was enough to send me running straight for the comforts of home – until of course I realized that our living Lord himself was standing right there, summoning my faith to be put into action. “Feed me. Clothe me. Get to know me. Love me.”

Sometimes meeting God face-to-face can feel downright terrifying. It certainly did for Moses! But the God we worship is a patient and wildly creative God who knows us far better than we know ourselves. So when you are anxious or afraid, when God's call has taken you so far out of your comfort zone that you think you might have a panic attack, remember Moses. And then remember the words of the One who knows you best: “Fear not, for I am with you.”
