In God's Service

God called to him from the midst of the bush

and said, “Moses, Moses!”

Exodus 3:4

Today's Bible Reading:  Exodus 3;1-12.

Imagine for just a moment that you are God. You are the Creator of the Universe and you possess all power within yourself. However, your people are being held as slaves and the time has come to deliver them. Who would you choose to do this great work? Perhaps you would send a great military leader? What about sending a skilled politician? Maybe you would send some great orator, someone good with words; a man who could give heart-stirring speeches that would grip the hearts of men. If you had the population of the world at your disposal, would you have sent Moses? Probably not! After all, he was 80 years old, when God called him. He was a fugitive from justice, wanted for murder in Egypt, the very place you want to send him! Yes, Moses was well educated, but that was over 40 years ago. Yes, he had been well connected with the royal family, and in the political circles of the day, but that too had been a long time ago. Yet, when it came time for God to send a deliverer to Israel, this is exactly the person God chose for the job. To us humans, it might not make much sense, but to God it was all part of a great plan.

While you think about that, think about this too. We are living in the midst of a world that is going to Hell. People are perishing daily and need desperately to be reached with the message of Jesus Christ. If you were God, whom would you send to reach them? Would you raise up some kind of super saints? Maybe you would ordain a few angels to to the work. But, surely you would not send a bunch of old sinners saved by grace to tell other old sinners about that grace. If we were God, we would want the brightest minds and the most skilled individuals we could get our hands on. Yet, when God chose to reach this world for Himself, He looked around and decided that saved sinners made the best candidates for His work.

As a Christian, are you doing that work today?

(WARNING – Be careful of saying today's prayer).

Prayer: Father God, Help me in some way every day this year, to tell someone about the Lord Jesus. In my Saviour's name I ask. Amen.
