Hebrews 11:27, “By faith he left Egypt, unafraid of the
king’s anger; for he persevered as though he saw him who is invisible.”
There are times in our lives when either opportunity or
catastrophe invades our lives along with the challenge to change. And fear can
paralyze our response. Unless.
Richard Foster in his book Prayer notes, “As we begin to
follow these nudgings of the Spirit, we are changed from the inside out.”
From the time Moses began to examine his choices and decisions under God, he
took stronger and stronger steps of faith. From his first encounter where he
genuinely tried to explain to God why he wasn’t equipped for this role of
leadership until the time came to put God’s plan into effect, he became not
only the leader God called him to be, but also a leader no longer afraid of
Pharaoh.
Foster also
says that in response to God’s overture of love that we can respond by a
covenant of holy obedience. “Without
reservation we vow to follow the Father’s faintest whisper.” What was ahead
of Moses now became more important than what was behind.
Lord, please give us the strength to move into each new day and
persevere under Your power and guidance. Please remove any fears that chain us from fully following
You or hearing Your words speaking into our hearts. Help us to truly see.
Psalm of Worship: Psalm 118:8-9
“It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in
man.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in
princes.”
