Devotional 1 houghts
“Ajid God said unto Moses:
Come now therefore and I will
send thee unto Pharoah that thou
mayest bring forth my children
out of Egypt. And Moses said:
Who am I that I should go. . . .
And God said: Certainly 1 will be
with thee. . . —Exodus 3:9-12.
There are two great lessons to
be learned from this story of the
Call of Moses. One lesson is that
the Lord God of the Universe is
a “searching-out” God. He is
constantly on the search for the
lives of men. The second lesson
is that God usually works by per
fectly normal means and ways.
In the case of the Israelites, He
freed the people by raising up a
leader who had faith and courage
and sending him into Egypt. God
used natural means to get results.
And God still rvorks in the same
way today. He is still working
quietly through natural means
to bring about His will. That’s
one of the difficulties we have in
our relationship with God—that
He so works through the things
of this world, that oftentimes we
fail to recognize His hand in them.
Like the woman who prayed for
patience, and was sent a green
cock!

cypress wood planking, and is reinforced with oak. The. top is

one was put in by hand. j, ' )
