Fear

 Exodus 2:14 ESV

He answered, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, and thought, “Surely the thing is known.” 


Moses was a murderer. Yet God called him to lead his people out of slavery in Egypt. Let no one say they are disqualified to serve the Lord.

We are all unworthy servants at best. We don't deserve to serve the Lord. He qualifies those he calls and chooses.

With Moses here, I'm reminded of Jesus's comment that everything hidden becomes revealed in the end. We might think we've got away with murder but even in the next life there's a day of reckoning.

Moses may have been a murderer, but he was forgiven. No one is beyond God's grace- as long as there's breath in our lungs, there's hope. Only those who die rejecting Jesus are hopeless.

'Sovereign Lord, please forgive our iniquities and enable us to live for you. For the honour of your name, amen'.
