Timing Is Everything

Much to our frustration at times, God moves at His own rate to cause change to happen - to support His ultimate goals.  And, at times, it seems to take FOREVER!  Interestingly, it often that it is only in retrospect when we do see God's hand moving in the midst of human affairs.  Day to day, not so much it seems!

I am sure that during the course of his life Moses often thought on the question as to where is God?  What is He doing?
And why so slowly!

God? 
What God?
How did he even know the was a real God ... and he was not Egyptian?

Remember that Moses' mother was hired to be his wet nurse by Pharaoh's daughter?

Exodus 2:11-25

Everyone Messes Up
Moses murdered a man for beating a slave.
He acted without God's leading.
At this point he was about 40 years old.
Josephus tells us that Moses had being groomed to become the next Pharaoh.

Now that would have changed the story significantly!

Time Out
Pharaoh seeks to kill Moses.
The slave must have ratted him out!
So Moses ends up in the land of Midian for 40 years.

40 years as royalty.
40 years a shepherd.
To come: 40 years in the wilderness.

If we are honest with ourselves:
We must allow God His due in our lives
We must allow Him to walk through our lives.

Moses had to have questioned.
Moses had to have stumbled.

Yet God used it all and that certainly changed the geo-politics of the ancient world, impacting ours - to this day .....
