Shaun Shaunfield decided at age 18 that God didn’t exist. His career as a computer scientist only reinforced his views. His wife, Barbara, faithfully drove an hour to church and Shaun always stayed home. One Sunday morning on her commute to the worship service, their truck blew a tire. Barbara sat on the side of the road, frightened and praying for assistance. Help finally came, and when she returned home she told Shaun, “I’m going to start over at the Methodist church nearby, but I’m not going alone. You have to go with me.”

Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”

Exodus 33:18

After a few weeks in church, Shaun took an objective look at his unbelief. He read Lee Strobel’s book The Case for Faith, which dealt with many of his objections. Then one sleepless night Shaun realized he had more belief than doubt – and accepted Jesus as his Savior.

In the book of Exodus, Moses’ prayer was to see the manifest glory of God. Yet the Lord did not show Moses His presence by depicting His power and majesty, but rather by showing His goodness, mercy and love (Exodus 33:19-23). As you seek God each day, pray also that America’s leaders would see His love in an intimate way and receive Him as Lord.
