Acts 7:30
30After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
Stephen stood before the Sanhedrin and gave an account of the life of
Moses before he was stoned to death in the presence of a man whom Jesus
would call to bring the gospel of Jesus to the gentiles. Moses was
eighty years old before he actually walked in his God-given purpose.
Moses was forty years old when he left Egypt. He was well versed in
Egyptian culture and education. As the word says, "he was educated in
all the wisdom of Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action." So
it's no wonder that God sent him back to Egypt as His spokesperson to
free the Jews. Moses was raised by the enemy to then become the
deliverer and defeat the enemy with the mighty power of the Lord. What a
purpose! Do you know that God can use you at any time and any age no
matter what your past? What you may not know is the Lord can use aspects
of your bad past and utilize it for good. And yes, the Lord can get
your attention with a burning bush experience if needed. When He says He
wants to use you, do not run because He will find you anyway. The best
thing to do is to accept whatever purpose He has made especially for
you. There will not only be joy and fulfillment but you'll have a peace
that you won't have if you keep running and denying Him. The lack of
peace will be torture to your soul. Do not fear giving up what the Lord
asks you. He can give you double as He did Moses. Moses made a greater
impact as a deliverer and leader of a nation-remembered by many more
than if he had taken his place in Egypt.
