“Faith is taking the first
step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase” (Martin Luther King Jr.).
When thinking about faith it is
easy to think of Moses as one of the most faithful people in the Bible. He gave
up the throne in Egypt to follow God and be with his people. Then he listened
to a burning bush and went back to Egypt. While he was there it was far from
easy for him. His own people were against him, he had to go back to Pharaoh’s
court, and he was performing miracles against people which made others dislike
him even more.
When Moses first went to
Pharaoh, Pharaoh made the work for the Hebrews harder. In fact, even after the
plagues started the Hebrews suffered the first three plagues along with the
Egyptians. Moses was probably not the most popular person on top of he probably
had doubts about his ability to deliver the Hebrews. But, here’s the thing,
Moses wasn’t the one delivering the Hebrews, God was. Moses was just the person
God used to deliver the Hebrews. God didn’t stop there. He guided Moses’ steps
toward the Promised Land.
In our lives we may be called
to do things we don’t want to do or things that may make people upset. We must
remember that God has a plan through it all. Even though Moses and the Hebrews
had to go through plagues and other problems God always had a plan. God will
always help us through our problems, just maybe not in the way we expect.
So, when God calls you to do
something hard will you choose to do it? Will you trust God even when
difficulties come your way?
