None of us like to be a failure but most of us know what it is to fail. Moses experienced failure at the beginning of his ministry. He wanted to serve God so much and according to Hebrews 11:25 he had chosen to identify himself with the Children of Israel. But one of his first actions was to take things into his own hands and the results were disastrous! What could he do now? He knew God would deliver his people and that he himself would be involved in it. But it was not yet God's time and what should Moses do in the meantime? He might be able to return to the palace, but Pharaoh was angry with him. He could not go to his own people. They seemed to have rejected him. His only way was to leave the country and wait for God to act or to call him to share in that action. Can you imagine him in the hot desert of Sinai, sitting by a well, waiting and wondering what to do next or where to go? God beautifully and lovingly cared for him and you can read the rest of the story in this chapter. God later used Moses in a wonderful way. Has there been some failure in your life which you can't forget? Does it seem that every time you try something it doesn't work out for you? Are you sure it is God's way just now? Is it his will for you? Is it his time? If you have failed, remember, our God is the God of the second chance. He can take you up and use you if you will let him do it in his own way. Think again of the lonely man at the desert well and how God lovingly watched over him. |
