The current situation is not the end in your life

As the COVID-19 continues to overwhelm our life, we sometimes wonder if this condition might never end.  As the society may feel this way, you as an individual may also be tied up with such negative thoughts.  Yet, one thing I want you to know is that although you may feel you are in a helpless situation, “the current situation is not the end in your life.”  Almighty God who gave your life on your birthday, has the keys to your life and full of blessings.

A man called Moses is described in the Bible.  Mysteriously, he was born as a Jew, yet until he was 40, he was raised as a prince of Egypt.  One day, he felt sorry for his people who were suffering with slavery, he tried to free them.  But, he failed.  He then became a murder, and he fled to wilderness and hid for 40 years, working as a shepherd.  He probably thought that his life would end as it was.  However, God started to use him to deliver his people at the age of 80.  How wonderous it is! The important things are;

1.    He found God.

He sympathized his people, so he used his own knowledge and his own will to do free them, yet he failed.  Without God’s presence, you also may feel that there is something missing in you.

2.    God gives you a mission.

God had a mission other than Moses being a shepherd.  God also has mission for you to accomplish in your life.

3.    God provides difficulties in order for you to complete your mission.

Without the knowledge of life in wilderness, how could he lead a large number of his people from the metropolitan city in Egypt to the promised land?  When we think of that, the 40 years of his life in wilderness had an important purpose to accomplish the mission.

The current situation is not the end in your life.  Please find God who is ready to bless you fully.
