MOSES MOMENT

Exodus chapter 3
There he was, in
the 40th year of the second third of his life, fragrant as his
father-n-law’s sheep he tended. Was he expecting that day to be any different
than the past 14,599 or so? Was he thinking “Maybe today God will soon give me
something really important to do?”
Possibly, or
angst that however long it had been a Egyptian SWAT would swoop out of the
desert and chariot him away. Or possibly his surrogate mother would now be in
control and intercede with a government pardon and restoration to royal
wardrobe and all that goes with it. Possibly, but more likely he was just doing
his job, responsibly moving from one normal task to another.
As Jon Mayo
communicated to me yesterday afternoon, God doesn’t intend our sitting around
waiting or longing for a Moses Moment. Jon is absolutely correct and can
provide verification from OT, NT, personal observation, and his own maturation.
Our
responsibility is to be faithful exactly where we presently are. Indeed God may
intercede, or interfere. (Note Moses reaction.)
I quote dear succinct
Ann, “Bloom where you’re planted.”
Yes, wherever
that place is we are to be regarded as faithful servants of Christ and stewards
of the mysteries of God. (1Cor.4:1-2) This includes being “found faithful”
whether smelling of roses, lanolin, cabbage, sewage, or any other ambient fragrance.
