"Don't go with those friends, they are not good company for you...Don't drink this, don't smoke that, it is not from God...Don't gossip, lie, envy....blah....blah....blah." These are most topics we get almost every day from our parents, pastors, friends, spouses etc. But I ask: What is your respond to this?
" No, I will not do that, she is jealous of me...She doesn't know how it feels to be me...She is annoying me..."
Many of those people who are not mature say this, and this is the reason we are never going anywhere in life. There is something that I like about Moses, God demanded many things to be done by him and he firstly had doubts and questioned God's authority and that upset God a lot.
Moses said " What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say' The Lord did not appear to you'?" (Exodus 4: 1) We see Moses trying to rebel and run away from God's instruction here...because God wanted to use Him and no one else, He showed him a sign that he will show to the people if they did not believe him. Still trying to escape, he said to God, "Pardon you servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue". ( Exodus 4: 10). He then was inviting God's fury to come on him. This was not pleasing to God and it will never be.
He repented and letting God use Him in the end and through him God was able to do His will of saving the Israelites. Then later we see the Bible expressing Moses' obedience in only one sincere verse: " Moses did just as the Lord commanded him". Is it that not sweet?
I love this. I may not have perfect words to express what was revealed to me but I know that God will surely reveal it to the reader.
