A life Humbled

EXO 2: 11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, "Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?"

14 The man said, "Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and thought, "What I did must have become known."

15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.

The Life Humbled

As I explore the Life of Moses, a man that is so mightily used by God. Here was a man, whom God called one of the most humble in the world, in fact there was only 2 such people God called meek in the bible, one was Jesus, the other Moses.

Born in the house of royalties even though he was a hebrew by birth, he had everything he needed in the world. He was schooled and trained, by the best egypt could offer. everything seem great for him, until he saw an egyption beat up a hebrew. Then in his voilent rage, he killed the egyption in cold blood. What was he thinking ??? In that moment he seem to have destroyed his own life, but God had other ideas. Moses needed to be refined and humbled before God can even consider using him.

I can imagine how Moses would have felt, one day a prince among the royalties of Egypt and the next day fleeing from the people who he once called his own. It relates to me a similar story of Job, one day the wealthiest person in the world and the next the poorest among all his friends.

Rom 8 :29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

I really believe that even though through human eyes Moses seems to be losing it, but God knew all along what he was doing. Moses have to be broken and humbled, before God can contemplate using him,

The funny thing is when a person has been to the highest of high, and sank to the lowest of low and have nothing left, they are often the most vulnerable yet the most willing to listen.

I believe as Moses live a life of a fugitive, his heart must be totally broken, humbled and lost, and when the time was right, God appeared to him to tell him of his purpose. Until he was ready in his spirit and life, God continue to allow situation and circumstances of life to mould him

Count it a blessing if you are struggling in what seem like a deep valley, because out of this valley, I know God is waiting for an opportune time to lift you up abnd to use you mightily

God Bless





God bless you
