I recently shared about shifting perspective away from judging things as either good or bad, and moving toward seeing all things in the light of God's goodness instead. This is especially relevant to the life of Moses who, if we judged him at age forty, would have been condemned to death as a murderer.
Forty years later, once time passed and a new layer of softness set in his life from becoming an exile and a father, God called Moses to deliver His people. Moses wasn’t useful in spite of his past, but because he was aware of where he began. The part he ran from became the part that displayed the grace of God.
Please enjoy this video that explains more about the call of Moses and how the plagues preach not with wise and persuasive words that appeal to our limited human reasoning, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power.
