GO FOR IT !
This past Sunday at church, we had a missionary guest speaker, Robert Wallace. Robert talked about God's plan for our lives. How we should pray for God to make it clear and obvious. When God does make it clear, then GO FOR IT ! Robert talked about Moses. I've been in church all my life. I know the story of Moses - have even sung the song "Go Down, Moses." Sometimes you forget the details - just shows I need to read my Bible more - even the familiar stories. God told Moses to ask Pharoah to "let My (God's) people go." Pharoah said no - then came the difficulties for the Egyptians including the plagues and death. The part I never really focused on was how many times Moses went to ask Pharoah to "let My (God's) people go" and Pharoah said "NO." 9 times ! How many times do I give up if something doesn't seem to work out after a couple of times? Sometimes, I'm not sure if maybe I got my wires crossed and it was my will not God's. Maybe I misunderstood. If I'm sure it's God's will, then I should go for it. Pray with me that I will know without a doubt God's will for my life - that I won't take the reins and go "God, I've got this one" or give up when I should go on. I want to grow in my walk with the Lord even more this year...

glad that you finally turned the comments on. thanks for everything that you do...i am praying for you today!
You know I never really focused on the idea about how often Moses went back either. It is so easy to just blow by the details, the context, the real life stories and struggles of the people we read about in God's word. It should encourage us to know that when we don't have it all together, neither did all the heroes of the faith. They just kept pressing forward when God said Go and stopped when God said stop. There is a powerful lesson there about waiting on the Lord, and knowing when waiting time is over.
Be blessed,
Wesley
