Prepare: Teach me how to follow You step by step in faith. Prepare me to accept Your word.
Read: Exodus 4:18-31
On taking the first few steps, a little child may falter and fall down; yet the delighted parents help the toddler and encourage the child that it may gain confidence to walk. God helps Moses to step out in faith to follow the Lord's commands. How does the Lord help Moses?
God provides a conducive situation: After enjoying Moses' company and service for forty years, his father-in-law Jethro readily sends him with his family to Egypt for a risky task. The Lord informs Moses that all those in Egypt who were against him are no more. How much Moses must have been encouraged!
Makes Moses learn to obey: The covenant God made with Abraham covers only those who have been circumcised. The uncircumcised son of Moses seemed to be a threat to Moses' life. Now it was not just Moses , his whole family came under God's covenant.
Gives Moses a companion: In Aaron, Moses has not only his elder brother but someone who always stands with him in his struggles either in Pharaoh's court or during the wilderness wandering. It is often mentioned "Moses and Aaron" showing how closely they work for the Lord.
Unites the minds of the people: Now it is no more a one man's show! It is a people's movement. People are willing to stand with him. Moses must have remembered what treatment he got some forty years ago on the same soil.
How does the Lord train us in our walk with Him?
Respond: Thank You Lord for Your loving concern for us as we follow the trails set for us.
