The people believed; and when they heard that the Lord had given heed to the Israelites and that he had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshipped.
(Exodus 4:31)
My closest identification to this is when I slow down in order to just ponder what the Lord has done and try to imagine what the Lord is doing. I have found that such is so necessary for me. A part of that is the inner joy that comes even in those moments when I allow myself to get thrown into a panic when the overload light is blinking in my life. At such times it is good to take deep breaths and, if possible, take a brief pause and, if necessary reset priorities based upon one's mission and vision.
As Exodus 3-12 gives witness a man named Moses had to keep asking for the Egyptian Pharaoh to set the people of God free from their slavery there. And the Egyptian response was downright fussing.
And even though Pharaoh kept on refusing to set them free the Mission of Moses remained the same -- Cooperate with God who will give Israel their freedom. And the God-given Vision for Moses remained the same -- Voice the message of God to Pharaoh, Egypt and Israel by word and deed.
But the vision path, how the vision was acted out would change from one action to another with all the various words and actions having the same mission and vision. In today's rapidly changing world such change on the way we flesh out our vision is required. Such was asked of Moses in just a few days.
May God give me the will and power to change as need be to make his mission and vision a reality which is for God to rule over the free choosing human race.
