Read Exodus 2:11-14.
Moses killed the Egyptian guard, thinking he had done so without anyone knowing. Still, God would use him to lead God’s people to freedom. Max Lucado says it best when writing about Moses.
“It’s been said that Moses’ life played out in three distinct acts. He spent forty years thinking he was somebody, forty years realizing he was a nobody, and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody. Moses’ life teaches us a myriad of lessons:
- God’s never done with you, until God’s done with you.
- At every moment of every day, God is working, orchestrating, laying the groundwork for new, not-yet-visible things; just because we can’t see these divine developments, doesn’t mean they're not in process.
- When we least expect it, God will show up and spin our lives off in an amazing new direction.
- Our final years can be our most significant years.
Are you trudging along? Are you feeling forgotten? Perk up. You may be about to round a corner and see a burning bush!
Are you older, thinking your glory days are behind you? Consider this remarkable fact: the Bible devotes exactly 1 chapter to Moses’ first 80 years and 135 chapters to his final 40!
Take heart . . . the best is yet to come!”
