What an amazing life is the life of Moses! His life is a testimony to the wonderful but often perplexing ways of God. Not only was he delivered from death as an infant, but he was delivered into the household of Pharaoh. And, just when you thought that this position of power would set him up perfectly to deliver the Israelites from slavery, God shows us otherwise as Moses is driven into the desert to live as a goat herder for forty years. It is remarkable to think that the greatest Old Testament leader was left by God to herd goats for forty years before being called to do something. But what God subsequently did through Moses is astonishing. There is no other period recorded in the Old Testament that has such a remarkable line-up of signs and wonders. He delivered an entire nation from slavery under the most powerful empire of the time. It reminds me that obedience to God is a pathway that cannot be blocked or hindered. It shows me that a life yielded to God can have astonishing effect in the world. It inspires me to live the kind of life that will enable me to look back at the end of my days and see the pattern of God’s work in my life. It assures me that, if I yield my life to God, I will have the fullest possible life I could ever imagine and that in every way I will THRIVE.
Commit yourself to God.
