When something becomes difficult, I’m tempted to abandon ship! My first inclination when difficulty arises is that “this clearly must not be for me!” But, I am quickly learning that an easy road is not always the reality of following God’s call, and that just because something becomes hard, does not mean that it should not be done or pursued.
I think that we have all encountered days where we are ready to throw in the towel, with our hands thrown up in the air and say, “I’m done!” But often times it’s at these moments where God is busy doing a great work, and a much greater faith and trust in Him is required.
Moses was given an extremely hard task, and was definitely a task that needed to be done despite its’ difficulty. I can’t even begin to imagine how intimidating it would have been to face the powerful ruler, Pharaoh, and demand that he release all of his slaves, but Moses knew the power of his God, and therefore, his faith was able to be steadfast in God!
“By faith he (Moses) left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.” Hebrews 11:27
As you go about your day and you encounter difficult tasks, know that the God who went before Moses also goes before you! God of the Bible is still God of today and He has not changed!
In our trying moments, may our faith rise above the difficult and necessary tasks that God has set before us, and follow Moses’s example to “see Him who is invisible” and trust completely in God’s ability to see us through!
Highlighting the hope that we have in Christ!
