Working for other people by Rodney Howard Browne

Moses, the Prince of Egypt, alias Mr Perfect, watering animals? Why? Because Moses had just choked down the largest wedge of humble pie you can imagine. By this time, the person was prepared to do anything. Isn’t it engaging, though, that in this event Moses was allowed to be a deliverer on a terrifically smaller scale? Earlier, he had thought he was going to provision a country. But this time God recounted,’You need a job as deliverer? Then get on up and do it, son. Start here. There are seven girls here in Midian who need a champ at this moment.’ Moses might have shrugged it off. I am out of the delivery business.
Let somebody else do the job.’ But he did not. It was here Moses took his first steps in changing into a man of selfless dedication. The more youthful ladies would later tell their pa,’An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and what is more, he even drew the water for us and watered the flock’ ( v nineteen ).
if you are unable to do the good you would, do the good you can. You were going to draft a top selling book, but the opportunities just haven’t come along. Are you ready to draft for your church newsletter? Perhaps you wanted to teach in seminary or Bible faculty, but the pressures of life forced you in a different direction. Are you prepared to teach a fourth-grade Sun. University class? Are you up for leading a small group Bible study? Is it really the teaching that draws your heart, or is it the status that goes together with the position? Failure, you see, teaches us a servant’s angle. They need the polished part, the popular part. God will use our disasters and reversals to cultivate within us a servant’s heart. That’s step one.
In His care we are all safe,’ he gave a negative reply and horizontaIly.
They’d been given grain from Egypt free. All of the PM had asked was that they prove they were never spies by returning with their kid brother and asserting Simeon who had been left as a hostage. Yet Jacob saw none of this as God’s provision. He froze in fear and focused on a worst-case eventuality. As quickly as he heard they’d left their bro in Egypt, he jumped to the realisation that Simeon was dead. He started to sound paranoid and self-pitying.
Yet, with a fast peek in the background, as we sneak a peek thru the back door of the tent, we see Jacob as he actually is. It’s one thing for us to sit with book in hand and read the story, knowing what the end result will be, and say with a shrug,’I'll tell you this, I sure wouldn’t have done that. I may have trusted God if I had been in that situation.’ But would you really? Well, then why did not you trust Him last week? What was it that kept you from seeing God’s hand in that matter you could not handle last month? Call to mind your most recent major test.
Did you rest quietly in Him? Or did you push the panic button out of fear? A closed mind to something that is’s unexpected and new. Because, humanly chatting, you and I have been programmed toward defeat. We have formed habits of answer that leave God out of the picture.

About Rodney Howard Browne

Rodney Howard Browne explains that even in human relations, you can fail if you do not work on the relationship and if you leave everything up to the other person. WE are folk who need to stick to the Lord. Accept accountability for your life and your blessing ; don’t be lazy, lackadaisical, or untidy in your walk with the father ; do not take Him for granted. If you would like God’s best in your life, if you want His blessings, you want to press in to Him and stick to Him and His word as if your life depends on it as it does.
