Good morning people who allow the Lord to work in you and through for His glory.

We know that God chose Moses to become the deliverer of the children of Israel. This happened at the defining moment at the burning bush (we will look at this later).

Today, I want to point us to the reality that God had placed the desire to deliver people in Moses well before this moment of holy commission and calling.

Exodus 2:11-14 NIV One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”

And then Moses intervened again in the land of Midian:

Exodus 2:16-17 NIV Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock. Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock.

In the first instant, Moses went as far as killing another man in order to deliver a fellow Israelite from being beaten. I’m not saying this was right, but it most definitely highlights a desire that God would redeem into a greater kingdom purpose.

God wants to use what He has placed in you for the advancement of His kingdom and for displaying His heart to others. Don’t disqualify yourself if you have “gone too far” (murder is a serious crime). Rather, allow the Lord to take that passion and that driving desire and to use it for His glory.

It’s not too late for God to work in you and through you.
