Does finding your purpose seem impossible? Trust him and let him stretch your faith. Jesus told his disciples, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” – Luke 18:27 NKJV. The purpose to which God called him was simply impossible. “I’m the wrong guy.” “The Israelites won’t believe that I talked to God.” “I am not an eloquent speaker.” “There’s has to be someone else you could send.” Moses just couldn’t believe that God would use him. He made all the excuses he could to tell God why his plan wouldn’t work. Instead of responding with, “Yes, sir!” and taking off toward Egypt, Moses thought it would be a good idea to argue with God.
#BIBLE DISCOVERY GIVE FREE#
God was going to use Moses to free the Israelite slaves. He saw a bush that was on fire, but the bush didn’t burn. He killed the Egyptian and fled Egypt to avoid the consequences.Īfter he fled Egypt, Moses married a Midianite girl and was tending his father-in-law’s sheep. He saw an Egyptian beating one of his fellow Israelites. Moses was born an Israelite but adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter. First, he had to learn to trust God to do what he said. Mosesīut even Moses didn’t start out by writing the Bible. If you want to know and follow God’s will, you do well, like the Bereans, to search the scriptures daily and make sure that the things you think you know are true. Anything agreeing with the scriptures is truth and anything contrary to the revealed truth is not from God.įinding your purpose from God begins with the scriptures. Likewise, we accomplish God’s purpose for us by following the truth he has already revealed through the law, the prophets, the gospels, and the rest of his word. Joshua prospered and accomplished God’s purpose by following the Book of the Law, the only Bible available to him. “Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:7 NKJV. Moses previously had been the spokesman for God, but God commanded Joshua to follow the law that Moses had written down. JoshuaĪfter Moses, the servant of the Lord, died, God chose a new leader for people of Israel. I have highlighted these six because there are clear lessons you can emulate for finding your purpose. Of course, all the heroes from the Bible were called by God to something. Joshua, Moses Jeremiah, Solomon, Paul, and Timothy are six characters we know from the scriptures.
