I could tell right away that Moses was a hero……not the Moses from the Bible……Moses the sprinter from Skyline.  He had honor on him. But that did not stop him from being injured……a torn hamstring in the conference championships.

 

Life is not fair.

 

Jesus tells us:  “In this world you will have trouble…but take heart!  I have overcome the world!” And He has!

 

You see….the enemy can disrupt and delay and discourage God’s plan over your life—but he can never destroy it.

 

Sin….and human choice……and the enemy trying to steal, kill, and destroy can all put roadblocks up…….but if you stay your course you can walk through them, over them, and around them.

 

Just look at Moses (the one from the Bible).

 

I am sure that he had no idea how God could use him after his angry response led to the death of an Egyptian slave driver.

 

But God did use him.  He introduced Moses to his wife.  He made sure to have an encounter with him.  He sent him back to Egypt to free the slaves……..and free them he did.

 

Midian was not a great option at first glance…..but God is a GREAT option.  And God had a plan for Moses…..and He has a plan for us.

 

Have you had to “flee to Midian?”

 

Remember this:

 

Jeremiah 29 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.   13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

 

God has a plan for you.

 

So if you are down like Moses (the Skyline runner) I declare to you this day:

Rise up o man of God!

Do not stay down for long.

Ask God to heal you or your situation or your destiny….and believe that He will come through…….

And if that does not work out the way you have planned….then ask for something greater…..

Because our God is the God Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

He is the God who frees slaves and calls out kings and conquers our enemies.

And He is who He says He is………..

And He can do what He says He can do.

 

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
