Moses Paid A Significant Preparational Price!
Scripture: Psalm 103:1-7
Psalm 103 reveals Moses followed a Spirit-led pathway procuring deliverance for a nation. Moses‟ preparational pathway began with “…knowing the ways of…” God. Verse 7 says, “He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.” Moses spent 40 years getting to know “…the ways of…” God. Most of the 40 were characterized by crossing a path which began and ended with great loss.
1. He lost his political position. 2. He lost his influence. 3. He lost his status. 4. He lost access to the taxing authority of Egypt. 5. He went from palace to pauper in a heartbeat. 6. He walked from adulation to derision. 7. He lost his total circle of friends and acquaintances accrued over 40 years. 8. He lost the exciting and fun-filled life of a large city and found himself surrounded by the lonely desert with a herd of bleating sheep. The lesson is – if we persist in learning God’s ways we qualify for doing His acts by choosing a Holy Spirit led training which has a significant preparational price tag! Moses chose to pay the price.
