PRIME - Day 2

PRIME Day 2

Read Exodus 3 and 4 

In the next two chapters, we see Moses struggling with obedience to God. As he walked up on the burning bush, Moses was amazed to see a bush engulfed in flames but not burning up. God knew that he had to get Moses's attention and once he had his attention, he would be able to deliver the message. In the last few verses of Chapter 3 and in Chapter 4 we see God telling Moses to go to the leaders of Israel and tell them the message. Maybe God is trying to get your attention and the task he has given you seems to difficult for you to accomplish. Realize that God isn't going to put more on you than you can handle and remember that we must put our trust in him to know that his ways are higher than ours.  

Extraordinary......

In Exodus 4:2-4 we see that God questioned Moses on what he had in his hand. Moses replied "A shepherds staff." During those times, a shepherds staff was used primarily to guide sheep. However, God used this staff to teach Moses a lesson. God showed him that he can take some ordinary staff and use it in an extraordinary way. Maybe you just think you have a ordinary voice, or maybe you feel as if nothing about you is "extraordinary" about your life. Just as God used a ordinary tool with Moses, God wants to use the "ordinary" things in your life in an "extraordinary" way. 

Prayer

Today, take time and thank God for using the "ordinary" things in your life. Moses was intimidated to talk to the leaders and didn't feel that he could live up to the expectations. When doubt creeps in, we can all begin questioning if we have what it takes to stand up for God. Pray that he will give us the boldness to take a stand in our communities, and schools.
