Message
The story of Moses is an interesting and faith inspiring one. It shows that God is in charge of our lives even before we were born. It also reveals that God’s plan and purpose for each one of us will surely be achieved. No one on earth can destroy God’s purpose for you. When Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, realized that his plan to stop the Israelites from becoming powerful was failing, he ordered every Hebrew baby boy to be killed.
It was at this time that Moses was born. By divine intervention, Pharaoh’s daughter saved him from drowning, giving him the name Moses – drawn out of water. It was God that ordered the life of Moses. He saw when he was conceived, born and put in the basket. He directed Moses to where Pharaoh’s daughter was. It was a divine arrangement. Isn’t it wonderful that God could see you before you were even born? He could see you grow inside your mother and He formed you exactly the way He wanted you to be. God knew that Moses would be a great leader, and so He carefully worked on His life allowing some weaknesses that would make Moses depend on Him and be humble. In the same way, God loves and cares for you. He brought you into the world to fulfill special purpose. You must follow Him to discover His purpose and live by it so as to be blessed.
