One of the most fascinating and important characters in history is the man Moses. Moses always had a sense of God's call on his life, but it took him some time to determine exactly how he was to fulfill it. The lesson Moses eventually learned is that a person becomes most effective in life when he or she decides to do God's will God's way.
Your Entire Life Has Been Leading Up To God's Call
God prepared Moses from the very beginning, and led him throughout his life.
Birth: Though Pharaoh had ordered the execution of all Hebrew babies born during this time, God protected Moses and his life was spared.
The Early Ambition of Moses: At an early age Moses had the desire to rescue his people from the torment of their Egyptian captors. This resulted in his murder of an Egyptian for mistreating a Hebrew, which forced Moses to flee the country and live as a shepherd in the land of Midian for the next 40 years.
The Re-Education of Moses: During his time as a sheepherder, there were some important changes taking place in Moses' personal life, which would enable him to be used by Go. AND HE WAS USED BY GOD IN A MIGHTY WAY!
God has big plans for you, and your entire life has been leading you toward his plan for your life.
God Will Wait Until You're Ready to Be Used
God will not send you out until you're ready—he gives you the chance to prepare.
When Moses intervened in the conflict between the Egyptian and the Israelite, he thought he was ready, but he wasn't.
God was waiting for Moses to be ready to be used. When the time finally arrived, you see a tremendous difference in Moses' attitude.
There are times when you will need to wait on God's timing, but don't make God wait on you.
God's Dreams Are Bigger Than Yours
Moses' dream for helping the Israelites was to help people one by one, but God's plan was that Moses would lead a nation of slaves to freedom.
God's dream will take you beyond your comfort zone and challenge you to do something bigger than anything you could have imagined.
Lew Wallace, the author of Ben Hur, had modest expectations for the book's success. God's plan was much bigger, and the book sold millions of copies and was made into three motion pictures.
God's will God's way involves asking him to give you a dream for your life that is so magnificent that unless he fuels the dream you have no chance of succeeding.
You will be most effective in life if you seek to do God's will God's way, and are ready when He calls.
