Warriors Arise: May 10, 2021
In asking God about where to go next with Warrior's Arise, I understand we need to begin a series called Today is Your Day. I am looking forward to seeing how God wants to reveal where He was at work behind the scenes in so many areas setting up their opportunity. Some will take the step through the open door while others will remain where they are. I hope you will engage with me on this new series in Warrior's Arise.
A little backstory on Moses. He was born in Egypt at the time when all male babies were to be killed. Pharaoh, at that time, feared the Israelites were getting too numerous, so he ordered the maidservants who assisted in child delivery to kill all male boys. Moses' mother hid him for 3 months. But then set him in a thatched basket and placed him in the river. Pharaoh's daughter drew it out of the water. Moses, being Hebrew was saved from death and grew up as royalty, under the protection of Pharaoh. (Exodus 2:1-10)
Was this by accident? Was Moses' mother the only one who tried to save her son or were there others who had tried to send their sons down the river in hopes that someone would draw them out and give them an opportunity at life? I'm not sure Moses' mother was the only one. However, what I do know, is God presented an opportunity for Moses. That day truly was his day to be taken in by the very family that had ordered his killing.
God declared life over Moses and life is what Moses was given. He was spared from being a slave like the rest of his people. He was raised, pampered, yet educated and trained to lead the greatest nation on earth. He was taught Egyptian history and tradition. He was taught court protocol and educated in working with other nations. He was taught of the many gods of Egypt and the necessity to honor them. He was trained in these ways as an infant.
This day, the day Moses was drawn from the river, was a new day for him. He would not live in fear. He would not be in want for anything because it was provided for him. He would not be scared of the whips of the taskmasters. He would not be burnt by the scorching, dessert sun. He would not be living in rags and in cramped quarters with his siblings. He would not be eating the same foods day after day because today was a new day.
Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV) Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.
God, that day did a new thing. We do not know if there are other babies put into the river to save them from those who sought to kill them in Egypt. However, we do know, that day God made a way for a Hebrew baby to be saved from death and brought up to lead a great nation. This is as unlikely as a river being formed and sustained in a dessert. When the sands storms come the river would be underground, covered, and filled in by the sand. How would a river be sustained in the dessert? Only God could make that happen. How could a Hebrew baby, who by law would have been put to death be brought in under the very protraction of the man who decreed his death? Only God could make that happen. Today, Moses is to live.
God needed a Hebrew to learn how to lead a great nation, His great nation. God sets into motion what you are going to need in order to fulfill what He has positioned you to do.
Father, You moved on Moses' mother to give her son the opportunity of life. She had no idea what would happen to Moses. She had to trust You on so many levels. It is difficult to send our children off when we do not know what they will face. Right now as sons and daughters are coming out from under the protection of their parents with graduation just around the corner, we turn to You. I ask for each parent to listen to You. I ask for each one to be in Your perfect timing of releasing their sons and daughters into Your hands. Many are preparing a thatched basket, held together by the love, guidance, structure and instruction of their parents to prepare them to face their next step. Each one must find a way to trust You to position their son, their daughter in the place where You will have them drawn out on prepared for the plans You have them. I ask for You to strength the hearts of the parents to trust You. I pray for each parent to have courage to release their son and daughter into the river, under the direction of Your power to position them for where they are to be groomed, prepared to fulfill the purpose You have placed inside of them. I ask for You to direct the river and those who are to call out the sons and daughters, providing, protecting, educating, and giving opportunity. I pray for You to place each son and daughter exacting in the place where they will be prepared to fulfill their calling in Jesus' name amen.
A Warrior in the Lord’s Army,
