Moses had his wounds. So do we. They turn into lies when we allow them to fester for too long. Lies that we begin to believe. From that lie, we begin to create a new false belief system. From there, he began to build a stronghold around himself, for protection. He began to vow things to himself.
And we find ourselves out there in the desert. Wasting our potential. Out there in the desert not fully understanding WHO we are, because we’ve lied to ourselves for SO long. Alone, isolated, and doing the bare minimum...out there in the desert.
But...I’ve got good news for you Moses, Bushes burn, in deserts like that.
You are NOT so far gone that God can’t find you.
You are NOT so sinful that Jesus can’t redeem you.
You are NOT so unwanted, unskilled, or unremarkable, that God doesn’t want you on His team.
He has CALLED you. He has GIFTED you. He has PREPARED you.
The world is needy. It needs you. We need you.
You don’t have to look very far to see problems in this world. YOU are called to be a solution.
Exodus 3:11, “But Moses protested to God, ‘Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?’”
