Moses - the Friend of God

DAY 2 OF 4

Keep Going and Reach Out!

Moses was on the run. But this did not stop him from being kind and doing good to others. When things go wrong for us, more often than not we tend to coil into our shells. Our mindset becomes I am just going to stay in my lane. I don’t need or want any more trouble. I need to keep my head down and focus on surviving this period. But in Moses, we see something different. He did not say to himself, the last time I helped someone it ended terribly. Instead, he stepped in and helped Laban’s daughters. He did not know that by providing that help he was ushering himself into a new life with a new family.

This passage reminds us that when we retreat from others, contrary to what we might think, we are not preserving ourselves rather we may actually be inadvertently harming ourselves by stifling a solution to our problem.

About this Plan

Moses - the Friend of God

We all know that Moses was a great leader, used by the LORD to help the people of Israel. But all too often we forget about his initial struggles and how they shaped his character. This short devotional looks at the lessons we can learn from Moses' early life and challenges. This devotional is an amended extract from an upcoming book by Jean Kabasomi.
