BEING IN GOD'S PLAN

Today, let's look at the life of Moses.

Moses was born at a time when little Hebrew new born males were killed. His mother made a             basket and laid the child Moses in it and put the basket in the river. His sister kept a close watch.

Pharaoh's daughter was bathing on the banks of the river, and she had other girls with her. When they heard a cry from the basket, she asked one of her girls to go and see what it was. Lo and behold, they found a baby in this basket! The child looked beautiful.

Immediately, Miriam ran to Pharaoh's daughter and asked if she could get some one to nurse the         baby. So the little baby was nursed by his own mother and then was brought back to the palace to be with Pharaoh's daughter. She took him to be her son and called him Moses, because she had drawn him out of the water.

Here was this Hebrew child who was destined to be killed and he is now in the palace. God had a plan for his life. He grew up in the palace in the lap of luxury.

Fast forward...he kills one of the Egyptians who was mistreating a Hebrew slave, and the next day he finds two of the slaves fighting. He goes to separate them and then the secret comes out. They make it known that they saw what happened the previous day. He had killed an Egyptian. He then flees into the wilderness.

Imagine Moses who was so used to luxury in the palace, is now in the wilderness. No home. No servants. No food. All by himself and he is wandering.

There he meets up with Jethro and his daughters and is married to one of the girls.God had His eyes on Moses. He had a plan for his life. You may ask: Plan for a murderer? Yes, indeed. So you know He has a plan for you too!

It wasn't God who encouraged Moses to kill the Egyptian. It was the self at work. Moses was exerting his power and authority. 

When God has a plan...it doesn't matter how much we want to resist or stray away...He has His way of getting us back on track...that is if we acknowledge our mistakes and make Him the "MY" God.

There is a day when Moses is tending to the sheep in the backside of the mountains in the wilderness. He was alone. It was there he saw an unusual sight....a bush was on fire but it was not getting burnt or consumed. So he goes closer to it, and then hears a voice...the Voice of God!!

God talking to a murderer?

Yes, He wants to talk with everyone...doesn't matter what you have done, or how deep into sin you have got yourself into...He speaks! And it's up to us to listen.

Right from when Moses was a little child, God's plan for his life was being charted out. Moses had to go through it all to finally hear the voice of God.

Dear Reader, very often, we tend to embrace the things of this world and some how give a deaf ear to things that are from God.

We want to lead our own life and take great pride in rejecting God. After all we are in the 21st century and it's sort of weird and out of fashion to even mention God, leave alone knowing about Him.

God has a plan for you even before you were born. He wants to give you hope. He wants to bless you...again don't equate blessings only with money!

You may need to flee.. Yes....flee from lust...from the love of this world, and get to a place where you are alone...and then allow God to speak with you. And when He speaks...please listen!
