Exodus 4

Exodus 4At the beginning of chapter 4 Moses is deeply concerned with whether or not he will be listened to by Pharaoh and the Egyptians. He is feeling scared and inadequate . . but God surely gives him what he needs in order to be prepared for the situation. The Lord gives Moses a staff as evidence that He has indeed appeared to Moses. This made me think . . . what evidence my life shows that He has indeed appeared to me? Can people look to me and see evidence of my Savior?While God has not given me anything physical like a staff as evidence of his appearance to me . . . of my faith in Him. . .there should be evidence in the condition of my heart. Then, this evidence in the condition of my heart should affect the way that I live my life. So the question is . . . where does my life show evidence of Him and where do I still desperately need Him? It feels sometimes as if I need so much more of Him in so many areas of my life. I still want to grow and to change and to become more like Him, but I’m not there yet. . . guess that doesn't come until glorification.Colossians 3:23-24 says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” So until that day comes, just keep on keeping on. Keep on pursing the Lord with all your heart. Be dilligent in your walk. Seek to discover the ways in which your life is not pleasing to him and to pursue the Lord deeply in those areas.
