OVERCOMING OBSTACLES - MOSES' STORY

Mose faced some obstacles when Pharaoh did not want to release the Israelites and allow them to go to the promised land. When we do the will of God, we will face some obstacles but God is always there to help us to overcome it.

Exodus 6:1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.”

Life would be nice if everything would just fall into place without any trouble or problem. It would have been nice if Moses told the Israelites and Pharaoh the message from God, everyone believed, and the Israelites walked straight out of Egypt without raising a sweat. Unfortunately, life does not always run smoothly – it is filled with challenges and unpleasant surprises. The elders of Israelites believed in Moses after he showed them some signs and wonders but Pharaoh repeatedly refused to let the Israelites go free and travel to the Promised Land. Pharaoh wanted the Israelites to be his slave workers for his multiple building projects. Moses constantly faced opposition from Pharaoh. Moses had to perform ten plagues to convinced Pharaoh to eventually to let the Israelites go free. Even at the last moment, Pharaoh changed his mind and ordered his army to pursue the Israelites who were travelling toward the Red Sea.

Moses had an extraordinary determination to confront his obstacles. He always turned to God to help him overcome every obstacle that Pharaoh tried to put in his way. God was faithful to deliver Moses out of every difficult situation so that His purpose would be fulfilled on earth. Indeed, God is with us and He will help us overcome every obstacle like Moses as we seek to fulfil His plan on earth.

God is more than able to help us overcome our daily challenges so that His name may be glory on earth.
