Moses, a shepherd, stood before Pharaoh and ordered the powerful ruler to release the people of Israel from slavery. Moses brought the country to its knees with a shepherd’s staff and his faith in God.
Choosing to walk by faith instead of living on the basis of feelings, opinion and logic often means being misunderstood. Our actions may appear unreasonable to the outside world, but what could be more reasonable than allowing our omnipotent God to guide us? When we find our talents and abilities are no match for the task at hand, God’s power will accomplish through us what needs to be done. (See 2 Cor. 12:9.)
The Lord works out our circumstances through our obedient actions. Living by faith requires releasing our human sense of what is best and reasonable in order to rely wholly on God – it involves obeying when the Lord tells us that we are to speak or act.
God wants us to trust that He has a plan for our life and is constantly directing circumstances and maneuvering people to ensure that His purpose is achieved. Whatever the challenge, you can be successful by choosing to depend entirely upon the Father. He will stand you up before your own personal Egypt and make you victorious.
