Pearls of Wisdom.....pt 5

Andy Fry with Gerald Mangena at the Crossroads site
Premature action brings premature results and we can see this in the life of Moses.

Moses had a sense within himself of the call and protection of God in his life. He had an education in a privileged situation and he was raised in a “ fine” establishment. At the age of 40 he killed an Egyptian. He probably thought people would understand that he was the “deliverer” of the Israelites but they didn’t. Premature action brings premature results. When the King of Egypt found out, Moses ended up on the run to a place called Median to look after sheep for the next 40 years until he had an encounter with God – the burning bush experience which confirmed what he knew in his heart all along. Inside of him was the sense of God’s calling. The fervency and desire to see the dream fulfilled but if the timing is wrong, it causes premature results.

The lesson we learn from Moses again is PATIENCE. If the calling is in you, hold onto it.
