Attention

Moses; former prince of Egypt...
Is quickly adapting to a new life...
Married with children; a job; a house…
On the surface he can be said to be content...
  
He set out on this day with his father-in-laws flock
From having and living in abundance…
To the nomadic life of a shepherd…
Taking care of animals, which are not even his...
 
He has been forced to embrace his true identity
Nothing about him  reveal his opulent past
He has dropped the fine princely robes and jewelry...
For the plain Hebrew flock and staff

He can no more enjoy the advantages of Egypt
His parents and siblings slaved for the Egyptians
He had been exempted by divine intervention
He now is fast settling to a life away from his people
 
He had used his privileges to help them
But his action and motive was misinterpreted
He bit the finger that fed him
For this he will run from the terror of the Pharaoh
 
Now he was trying to let go of the past
And fully settle into the new identity
He has made progress in this
The job to rescue Israel is not his; or so he thought...
 
God wasn’t through with this 80 year old man
So the Lord sought to get His attention…
He restored the unmotivated man
He built the confidence of a stammerer
 
He launched him out again
He can confront those he fled from
He will reunite and help his people
This time Moses will succeed for God backed him

More than enough...

I am sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency Esther the orphan was sufficient to be a Queen Joseph the prisoner; was enough to be Prime Minister ...
