Doing God's Will My Way

Chapter 3 in the shaping of Moses into a man God can use is called
Significant Confrontation.

Exodus 2:11-17, tells us how Moses confronted an Egyptian mistreating a Hebrew. This was wrong and the man needed stopping. Moses had the granted authority to stop the man and release the Hebrew. However, Moses reacted liked so many who want the right thing to be done-he tried to do God's will in his own way and that never pleases God.

He killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand. God's Word warns us, "Be sure your sins will find you out." It wasn't long until Moses' sin was uncovered and he was confronted by another Egyptian, and then by Pharaoh.

When you are confronted with the will of God, how do you try to achieve it? A tragic mistake is to attempt to do God's will in the strength of the flesh. Do God's will God's way. The time will be right; the results will be righteous.

And when you are out of God's will, expect a confrontation, from your companions, as well as from your authorities. God can use these confrontations to make you usable in His hands.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,
And He delights in his way.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the LORD upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:23-24
