The Runaway

Moses answered, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, 'Yahweh has not appeared to you.' Yahweh said to him, "What is that in your hand?" He said, "A rod." He said, "Throw it on the ground." He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it. Exodus 4:1-3 WEB.

Moses had a shepherd's staff that he carried around with him. It was nothing special initially, but after meeting with God, the staff transformed into an object of power. While it grew in power, it also became something scary. So Moses ran away from it.

After Moses fled the scene, the Lord calmed him down, called him back, and taught him how to handle it properly. Moses then took the staff and set out to free his people from slavery. This time he knew how to handle it, and he was no longer scared of it.

Sometimes the Lord will take something that you already have and turn it into something powerful. Yet, at the same time, it can get scary. The risks, the responsibilities, and the pressure can make you want to run away from them. But only staying with it will cause the victory will come. The Lord rarely takes you around an obstacle. Instead, He will take you straight through the middle of it.

If there is something in your life today that you want to run away from, be sure to pray about it first. God was able to teach Moses what to do, and He will work with you as well. If He does not answer, it must not be important, but sincerely give Him a chance. Don't run away from what could be your calling without first asking His advice about it. Don't let fear rob you of what could be your destiny.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I look to You today and ask for clear guidance in my life. I want Your will to be done and to have a closer relationship with You. Please calm my fears as You did with Moses and teach me what I need to know. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Note: Just a reminder that our Wednesday mid-week service is now happening at 10:30am and not 3pm. Hope to see y'all there! As always, if you have a prayer need, we are here for you! We and the prayer team are ready to lift you up at our private prayer page: RHM Prayer Network.

AMEN!!! "Dear Heavenly Father, I look to YOU today and ask for clear guidance in my life. I want Your will to be done and to have a closer relationship with YOU! Please calm my fears as You did with Moses and teach me what I need to know. In the name of Jesus Christ I ask and pray, AMEN!" Thinking of Psalm 133:1 right now as I'm feeling so blessed and encouraged to be able again to attend today's Prayer Meeting! "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity" - the Lord brought us together and made us a family, our RHM family, praise His holy name!!! 🙏
