I am continually reminded how much of a difference God can make when we really let him lead. It’s so easy to take the control back when things seem to be getting a bit off track, not do those seemingly trivial things, and not speak the words at the time they are given. We think we have the better idea, the better time, the wisdom to “make the call”. Truth is, things will simply never turn out the way God intends them to when we rely on ourselves and our own experiences, no matter how powerful those experiences have been.
God directed Moses, gave him the words to say, even gave him someone else to say them, provided the exact time and place for the words to be spoken, and the results were a delivered people. Not on his time, but on God’s time. I’m sure Moses would have wanted them delivered much sooner, and would have eagerly avoided the many trials and uncomfortable dealings with many of the people.
God had the plan then, and He has the plan now. The rewards may not be for me, or for you, but for those that will come after us. The changes in lives may not be noticed by me or by you, but as we trust Him more, follow His direction, do those things He asks, and speak the words He directs, truly amazing results will be produced, and God will be glorified.
