Moving With God
And the Lord said to Moses, ‘When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power.’ Exodus 4:21, ESV
In the scripture above, Moses received instructions from God to leave Midian and to go back to Egypt to speak with Pharaoh. Egypt was the most powerful and prosperous nation in the region at the time, which would make Pharaoh the most powerful man in the region. Moses did not have an appointment to see him and yet, God told Moses to go to Pharaoh and show him the miracles and power He have given him to deliver His people.
Moses understood the power of Pharaoh and the Egyptian monarchy because he had seen it from the inside. He was raised as one of Pharaoh’s grandchildren. God told Moses that all those who sought to take his life had died and he was to go back to Egypt and speak with Pharaoh. Moses was apprehensive, and although God became angry with Moses, he sent his older brother Aaron to meet him and to be his spokesperson.
Moses left Midian with his family headed back to Egypt and met his brother Aaron on the way, just as God had told him. Here is the amazing part - God prompted Aaron to leave Egypt and go to his brother. Scripture says, “The Lord said to Aaron, ‘Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.’ So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him” (Exodus 4:27).
In this story, Moses and Aaron learned obedience and how to move with God. He is teaching us how He works and showing us what we can expect from Him. He never told Aaron that He has an assignment for him. He simply told him to leave Egypt and to meet his brother in the wilderness. Moses has been gone for 40 years and Aaron never attempts to go see his brother until God tells him to move. The amazing journey they had together could never have been imagined in their minds. Aaron would become the high priest of Israel and Moses would deliver God’s people out of Egypt. Neither of them had any idea what God had planned, yet they moved with God. They gave him their yes!
We are to move in faith. The reason I believe God lets us read the testimonies of so many in the Bible is for our faith to increase, so that when He call us to what looks impossible, we will move and give him our yes. Amen!
