The God Who Sends...

It’s easy to get carried away with the thought that we are in charge of our life. The fact that we live in America is a constant reminder of our individual freedom. Added to that is how the routines of our day reinforce that we are our own boss. We get up each morning, think through what we need to do that day, and with no further accountability we charge into our schedules doing exactly what we want. Is there a place where God could ever interrupt our plans to have us fulfill some of His plans?
“I have come down to help them, pry them loose from the grip of Egypt, get them out of that country and bring them to a good land. It’s time for you to go back. I’m sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the people of Israel, out of Egypt.” ~Exodus 3:8,10
Though Moses had a university education in ‘nation-ruling’, circumstances turned sour for him. That was years ago. Now he tended sheep, and had been doing so for many years. The routines of his new life had now been well established, well until the bush thing happened. On that ‘bush’ day God spoke to Moses. The above verse was the summation of that conversation. Lets look at Moses’ experience that day; God showed up in a weird way(burning bush), interrupted Moses’ routine(watching sheep), and called him to lead Israel out of Egypt. This is an amazing story, but it’s not out of character for God to do this. He is God. He is the creator. He has redemption plans in play. He is still THE GOD WHO SENDS! ~verlon
