Something burned within him that day. Why didn’t it taunt him before? Moses snapped as the taskmaster’s torso stood superior over the Hebrew slave with forceful lash after lash across his weakened frame. Adrenaline burned in his veins! No longer could he stand watching the barbaric actions. As though his feet had wings, he charged towards the abuser, tackled him then pushing him to his death. He stood on the monument looking down at the lifeless body. The Prince of Egypt died that day, he was that prince, now he was a fugitive.

He ran as far and as fast as he could. What was happening to him? Moses began experiencing I believe the pull of God. As I write this, I can’t help but to guess that Moses not yielding to the call of God added years onto Israel’s bondage. “Why God is it taking so long?”

“I’m waiting for the man who is one of you by blood but not among you in cause.” Why would he? His dwellings were in the boundaries of Egyptian living. Their laws were his. Their gods were his and lifestyle. (Exodus 2:11-15)

“Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?” (Isaiah 43:13 KJV)

God’s covenant descended to him from Abraham, Isacc and Jacob. A covenant is a contract. Breaking it has consequences.

Let me tell you, running from God is useless and a waste of time and will absolutely wear you out. Moses’ circumstance chased him right into the will of God. I guarantee misery will not lift. Each time it becomes heavier and heavier until, snap! I’ve been there.

Moses’s mother instilled God’s word within him. It never leaves. Once that seed is planted, prayer waters and it will take root.

My encouragement to you is to seek him wholly. You or someone you know maybe be hesitating to yield to the call of God. The covenant is compelling saying, “Come forth!”

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.  Hebrews 11:23-29 KJV

I too believe by faith that you will reconcile to the call of God.
