We are Moses

Let's take ourselves back to the account of the Exodus.  The short version is this:  Moses gets spoken to out of a burning bush that does not burn up.  He argues with God about whether he can free the slaves in Egypt, even with God's help.  God runs Moses out of excuses and tells him to have Aaron speak for him.  God further tells Moses that he is to be "like God" to Pharaoh.  Quite a daunting task if you ask me. Pharaoh had given a command to make their hardship and workload even worse than it already was. It's a safe bet to say that he is the chief slave driver.  Moses goes and confronts him and commands him to let the children of Israel go.  Pharaoh says no, 10 plagues are carried out, Pharaoh changes his mind (cant blame the guy!), they leave and cross the Red Sea (one of the most awesome miracles EVER!).  Moses is now charged with leading the Israelites to the Promise Land, the land flowing with milk and honey.
Now, what in the world can we draw out of this?  How are we like Moses?  Well, Moses, under the direction of God, confronted a slave driver.  This slave driver had a firm grip on his victims and had no intention of letting them go.  Let's face it.  There are a lot of people under the authority of slave drivers.  Some of them are Christians, new and long time.  In that line of thinking, there is a lot going on here.
First off, Moses has his own slave drivers.  Regret about his past of killing the Egyptian man and fear that he may be found and killed by Pharaoh.  So we find Moses playing with sheep in the desert.  He's married, has a child, and is chilling out in the desert as a shepherd.  God comes along, this being the first time that Moses has seen anything out of God according to Exodus.  Anyway, Moses has an encounter with God and gets his crap straight and a mission.  He is freed up from the fear of his slave drivers.  Why you think he argued so much about going back to Egypt (but that's just my opinion)?  Moses gets his "salvation", he gets "saved".
Moses goes to the slave driver of 3 million people and, through God, takes Pharaoh's power away from him.     Then the 3 million people get saved.  Through a man, God negates the hold that a slave driver has over someone else.  Sounds kinda like what Christian's are called to do.  Give someone encouragement and pray for them so that they have strength in the Lord to get away from their slave driver.
Now, how did Moses know what to do to get the slave driver to release his prisoner?  He spoke to God before he did anything concerning the Jews.  Kind of like...prayer!  In this case, we are being an intercessor on their behalf in order to  Now, here's where it gets deep.  If Moses was seeking a response from God, what would that come in the form of?  The Word of God, which is other wise known (to us) as the Bible.  If we are going to ever lead people to kick their slave drivers to the curb, we have to seek God in prayer and in reading His word.
We have been set free and forgiven of so much.  It's great to be alive!  I have never felt more free.  So what are we to do with this?  "That was Moses, he spoke to God like they had a two way radio."  Well, God said something to this effect in Isaiah 49:6:  "It is but a light thing that I have brought you out of slavery, but I give you as a light to the Gentiles (unbelievers) so that you will be my salvation to the ends of the earth!"  Don't just have salvation, BE salvation!
Here's the tricky part.  Do not EVER doubt the kindness or the ability of God to do mighty things through you and for others.  It's not about Him liking you more or less.  It's about seeing His will manifest on earth.  He wills not that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  Moses argued with God like 4 times before he realized that God wasn't backing down, nor was he unable to make it happen.  You'd think that he would have figured it out after the incident with the snake and leprosy.
OH, here's something pretty cool too!  We are to be a light to the Gentiles, right?  Well, in John 8:12, Jesus says He is the light.  Upon salvation, we are asking Jesus to come and live in our heart.  We are not just being a light, we are showing Jesus to the world.  We are being compassionate, gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love.  Outside of that, we have no right to do anything.
I bless you now to know that we serve a God that believes in us more than we believe in ourselves.  May the  Lord bless you and keep you.  May He lift His countenance to you and May the God of All peace give you peace.
