"AS HE SEES FIT!!"

Exodus 2:11-15              (ESV)
"11 One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people.
12 He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling together. And he said to the man in the wrong, "Why do you strike your companion?"
14 He answered, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid, and thought, "Surely the thing is known."
15 When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well."


The past can be full of great memories!  Your first kiss, getting married, having your children, and many more glorious events that we revel in.  But what about the things we don't want anyone to remember?  What about the things we are so ashamed of that even we attempt to block out of our own memory?

Moses is best known for leading the Israelites out of captivity from the Egyptians.  But in his past he had killed a man for striking down a fellow Jew.  Although he was defending what he thought was right, he did it in a way that made him wrong.  The very next day he observed two Jews in a dispute and was chastising one of them when the fellow Jew said "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?"  What Moses thought was a secret had apparently been made known to all.

Moses was still used by GOD to lead HIS children out of Egypt. The failures of his past did not preclude GOD having mercy on HIS children.  When GOD called Moses to go see Pharaoh, Moses tried to convince GOD he was too shy and had a speech impediment.  But GOD knew Moses's weaknesses and chose him anyway!

We need to understand that GOD doesn't share HIS glory with anyone!  GOD delivered the children of Israel out of captivity. GOD parted the Red Sea. GOD provided manna and water  for them in the wilderness.  GOD provided their needs as HE saw fit!

GOD will provide our needs "AS HE SEES FIT"!  Although we can see where GOD is leading us, the path we must take will undoubtedly lead us through some trials and tribulations that HE uses to mature us.  GOD may be preparing us for future tasks ahead in HIS plan!  I must trust in HIM to meet my needs "AS HE SEES FIT" for HIS glory.  My weaknesses only provide HIM an opportunity to be glorified while I perform "AS HE SEES FIT"!!
