GOD'S CALLING - MOSES' STORY


GOD'S CALLING - MOSES' STORY

God chose Moses, an ex-prince and later shepherd, to lead the Israelites out of Egpyt. Moses has the worst job as a shepherd, but God chose him to do great things. God can use us wherever we are at. There is no limit to what God can do through us.

Exodus 3:1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

God has a special calling upon every person on earth to fulfil His purpose. Sometime we don't feel qualified to serve God because we don't meet His criteria. However, when we look at the life of Moses, we can see that God desires to use everyone for His purpose. Moses was a prince of Egypt, who later became a shepherd in the wilderness because he had committed murder and fled for his life. God did not disqualify Moses because of his past sin but God gave Moses an opportunity to know Him and His plan. God spoke to Moses at the burning bush and called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, the land of slavery, and into the Promised Land.

When we allow God to use us to fulfil His plan and bring blessings to others, God can use us despite our past and lack of ability.

God can transform us into an instrument that He can use for His glory.

Amen! So timely, this post. Thank God for you, brother Peter. I just came across it when I was feeling troubled and inadequate. And again and again I'm reminded that God doesn't call the qualified; He qualifies the called!
