Exodus 1-3

Day 32

Exodus 1-3

Exodus 3:11-12
¹¹ Moses answered God, "But why me? What makes you think that I could ever go to Pharaoh and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?"  ¹² "I'll be with you," God said. "And this will be the proof that I am the one who sent you: When you have brought my people out of Egypt, you will worship God right here at this very mountain."

I have often felt just like Moses!  God, can you really use someone like me?  I’m not an impressive speaker, I have no degree from seminary, and I’ve been divorced… 

Look at our friend Moses…  He killed a person and tried to cover it up then fled the scene… (Genesis 2:11-15) The only thing he did not do was drive the get-away-car.   God used Moses to confront the Egyptian King with only a rod in hand to lead an entire Nation out of bondage.  An entire nation!  Not church, not a school, not even a business, but an entire nation…  Okay you got the scope of it!

God was at work in Moses' life far before he ever killed an Egyptian!  You can trace it back to when Moses was born.  His mother put Moses in a basket and sent him down the Nile River so he would not have been killed by Pharaoh’s decree to kill all male Hebrew children.  Moses eventually ends up being raised in the palace.  Just as God was at work in Moses life long before he had any idea, God is working in your life right now to bring you to a place where he can use you!  Your past cannot stop God’s plans for your future.  As of matter of fact, He likes using people with a past.  He likes using unlikely people to accomplish His plan…  It only brings him more Glory in the end!!!
