One day Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro… (Exodus 3:1)
It apparently began as a normal day for Moses. In the morning, Moses set out, as he had many years, to tend to his father-in-law’s flock of sheep. Shepherding was a dirty, thankless job, but it was Moses’ livelihood and so in typical fashion, he began another day’s work. As the story goes, however, it was not a normal day for Moses. This particular day would change the course of Moses’ life forever.
If you know the story in Exodus 3, this was the day Moses met God in the burning bush.
This was the day God recruited Moses for Kingdom service. This was the day Moses became the chief representative for God to the Israelites. Beginning this day, Moses led the people out of Egypt towards the Promise Land. Along the way, God used Moses to lead the people through a parted sea, deliver the 10 Commandments, and feed the people with manna and quail.
Oh yea, and Moses got to speak to a rock and watch as water poured out also. Moses life was never the same from this one day forward.
The story of Moses is a great reminder to me of the power contained within a day.
In one day, a life can be changed. One change of direction can alter a person’s future for good or bad. One new resolve, one decision to do the right thing (or the wrong thing), or one personal conviction can alter the outcome of a person’s life in positive or negative ways.
This thought really leaves me with one question for you:
How are you allowing your “one days” to shape your life?
Is there something in your life you know you need to be doing, some change of direction you need to make, some new commitment, but so far, you have not been obedient to what you know to do?
Could this be a day you surrender to the will of God for your life?
Will this be the day you begin to head your life in the direction you actually want it to end?
Will the resolve you make today carry you towards the vision you have for your life?
Life altering decisions usually begin “one day”.
Is this your day?
