As I continue through Exodus, a couple things about chapter 4 caught my attention. For now, I want to focus on the first thing. The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A staff.” The Lord said, “Throw it to the ground.” So he threw it to the ground, and it became a snake, and Moses ran from it. (Exodus 4:2-3 NET). God has called Moses to lead his people out of Egypt. Moses wants a sign so that the people will believe him. God gives him a sign. Moses responds and then runs away. God surely had gotten Moses' attention by turning the staff into a snake. Wasn't Moses right to run away in fear? Aren't snakes scary? But Moses was running from the direct result of what God him to do. Should he really have run away? Or should his faith told him to stay?
Are you working on a "new you" in this new year? Has God laid on your heart changes He wants you to make in your life? Are you seeing results already? Do they make you afraid? If God has called you to make changes and you are seeing the results of those changes, fear not! God knows what He wants to do with your life. It is good. You can trust Him. Fear not! Your eyes saw me when I was inside the womb. All the days ordained for me were recorded in your scroll before one of them came into existence. (Psalm 139:16 NET)
I am reading through (and blogging as led) Exodus following the Good Morning Girls.
