Have you ever experienced that....when everything seemed to be set up just right; you couldn’t fail, but then you did.
Moses was that way.
He had everything going for him…but messed it up.
Moses was that way.
He had everything going for him…but messed it up.
That’s the lesson for us today from Exodus, Failure is a possibility, but it doesn’t have to be then end of the story.
In fact, failure is just the beginning of a faithful life of obedience.
Shaped for a purpose
Failure is a possibility, but it doesn’t have to be then end of the story.
For instance, did you know Thomas Edison failed the light bulb some 10,000 times?
Or
Truth
Moses was born with a special purpose.
As we read last week in
The time was coming for God to deliver his people.
He had purposed this from back in .
Along came Moses; He was drawn out…to draw God’s people out.
He was truly born to fulfil God’s purpose.
Born to deliver.
God’s purpose was certain.
As is ours.
You may say, but my name is bill…sue
…and I can’t pay all of mine.
Or my name is Sue....and I hate going to court.
What ever your name or nickname is, it doesn’t HAVE to be the connected.
We are all called as suredly as we have been created by God he has called us.
The apostle Paul said it this way:
Ephesiand 2:10
Moses was born to deliver and the amazing thing is he was shaped for God’s service.
You too have been created for things that were in place before you were even born.
So when it feels like you just fit somewhere....that is very true, you were created for it.
The need pre-existed you.
That’s where we start today in
If you brought your bibles today, turn over there with me.
If you are using the bible on your phone....just scroll on over.
Moses was SHAPED for God’s purpose
Shaped in the sense that God had spiritually gifted him with leadership.
Moses was a leader, he had a position of leadership coming out from the palace, but more than that, he had a God given gift that made him stand out and would enable him to be used by God.

Moses was also shaped with a heart for his people, not the Egyptians, but he Hebrews.
His heart for the Hebrews burned because of the compassion he had for people being oppressed.
I’m sure this had been encouraged by his Egyptian mom as she told him over and over again how he had been drawn out....hearing his own story had tenderized his heart for people being oppressed.
He was shaped as we see in the text with abilities of a deliverer.
Strong, courageous, and able to handle himself and take care of others.
Moses was quick to take action and when he did, he knew what to do.
That was his personality.
He didn’t like the ‘wait and see’ approach.
Moses was a take action sort of guy.
HE didn’t think about what to do…he was a shoot then aim sort of guy.
That was his personality.
Finally Moses was shaped by his experiences.
As we shared his name was “drawn out”.
He knew where he was from and that was a long way.
Now the way Moses was shaped for God's service was great, but God wasn’t finished.
Purpose - SHAPE - Action - NO
Purpose - SHAPE - CALL - action - YES
Call - SHAPE - Action
and that’s what got him in trouble here.
This sort of thinking has always gotten people into trouble.
Our culture today, and I’m sure has always told us that if we go and do things then we will become.
For moses it was GO and Set them free, then I will be God's deliverer.
But what happened when he took action without God's direction?
It led to a murder that he couldn’t hide.
It led to taking authority that he did’t have.
Ultimately it led to his having to leave his home and the only people he had known as his people.
You might call it a failure.
But why did it fail?
Everything seemed so perfectly in place.
Did God want his people delivered?
Was Moses SHAPED to be a deliverer?
Had God called him to deliver?
NO.
In fact, that wouldn’t come for some 40 years
Moses fell in to the trap that many people do.
Go - Do - Be
Thinking that if we go and do what we are know how to do, then everything will work out just right.
We will become who we are supposed to be.
For Moses, HE would be God’s deliverer when he went and delivered the people when he became their leader he would become their deliverer.
But that’s not the way God works things out.
WE can’t go and do in order to become what God wants to make us.
Because it’s not about our actions that we become anything for God.
Even the church.
It’s so obvious what we are supposed to do, let’s just go do it.
If we just Go and DO this thing that we are so perfectly created for, we will become the person, family, leader, or church that God purposed us to be here in Rock Hall.
It sounds so true…GO DO BE
But that’s not the way scripture works at all.
In fact, Scripture teaches us the reverse of this.
But is God calling us to it?
How do we know?
We spend time listening for God to call.
Scripture teaches us the reverse of this.
it is our BEcoming that results in our going and doing.
