Have you ever wondered if you have gotten so far off course that you might have actually ruined God’s will for your life?

 

The story of Moses should remind us all that God’s plan is God’s plan—and you responding to Him—no matter how late you might be, can not stop it.

 

Moses was the perfect candidate to rescue the Hebrew slaves:

  • He WAS a Hebrew
  • He WAS in the palace in a position of prominence
  • He WAS in a position to influence the Pharaoh and to gather support and friendship of the ruling class

 

It was the position to rescue the slaves and to answer the cries of the Hebrews.

 

Until it wasn’t.

 

In a fit of rage, Moses murdered an Egyptian soldier and set his life on a course that could no longer carry out the very thing that he was destined to do.

 

And so he fled to the wilderness to live out his days and run from the very thing that he was destined to do.

 

Exodus 3  4 When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”

5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

7 The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey-the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

 

The LORD does not call the equipped.  He equips the called.

 

This is not to say that God can’t use talents—He can and He does.

 

But He also uses weaknesses.

 

This is quite a concept.  But in the mind of the follower—it brings freedom.

 

You see–if God can’t use you in your strengths–then He will use you in your weaknesses.

 

If God can’t set up the perfect plan for you to walk out your calling, then He will use the imperfect plan of your life.

 

And if God can’t find someone WITHOUT SIN, He will send Jesus to represent the broken.

 

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
