Yield

Exodus 2:15 (MSG) Pharaoh heard about what Moses had done and tried to kill Moses, but Moses got away to the land of Midian. He sat down by a well.

It is amazing how God is involved in even our worst nightmare, He uses it in His master plan.

Moses would wonder at his failure to help his nation and think all is lost, 'I may as well settle in the backside of the desert and be a shepherd'.

I am so glad God is God. He is not fazed by our failures, He has the big picture. He goes to work on our character and when we are ready he brings us out.

Moses, like Jacob, had to run away and like Jacob found God had a plan. Character had to be formed, they had to know their God.

My God is forming my character, loosing me from all that binds, preparing me for the lost.

Like Moses, having a passion for the hurting, the lost, is not enough, I must be shaped into the deliverer God wants.

I cannot assume that the tools I had before the backside of the desert are sufficient. My God loves the lost more than I do and He is interested in equipping me to win them.

My job is to yield. Amen!
