Some of us walk directly into what God has called us to do.

NOT.

God has called us to greater things.  To things that we can not fathom.  To things that will ultimately fill us beyond measure.

But there is a problem with this plan.

Us.

I have contemplated this verse for a week.

Exodus 2  11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

…

15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.

It seems to me that God had the perfect plan for Moses, and the Hebrew people.

He infiltrates the palace of Pharaoh.

He raises up a prince.

He sets his people free.

But angry servants make lousy followers.  And before you know it an Egyptian soldier is dead and Moses is running for his life.

The rest of the story is awesome.

But today, I want to talk about the walk from the palace to Midian.  I have to think that Moses questioned his heart, his choices, his destiny.  I have to think that he concluded that he had ruined God’s plan over his life.  Had his choices and sin and anger ruined God’s plan over his life?

It had not.

The testimony of Moses is incredible.  He walked in unity with God for much of his life.

And yet, he was full of sin and had to learn many things the hard way.

And so it is with us.

Sometimes the thing in front of us is the long walk to Midian, fleeing for our lives, and pondering our purpose.

But God.

But God overcomes and redeems.

He forgives and restores.

He empowers and allows.

In the freedom  He gives us there is error.  Our error.

2000 years ago, God made an incredible power play to cover up for that error.  In the person of Jesus Christ.

So walk to Midian.

And don’t be afraid to hang your head for a bit.

But don’t leave it there long.

God has a plan.

A plan that works with sin and bad choices and mistakes.

A plan that will be the best thing that has ever happened to you.

BE BLESSED.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
