As we read the Bible, we learn about people who were on a journey. One of the main historical figures in the Bible is Moses. He started serving the Lord two thirds of the way into his lifetime and what an adventurous journey he had!

He was born in Egypt in a time when his people, the Israelites, were being horribly mistreated but God spared Moses’ life. He grows up in the palace but is aware of the harsh treatment of his people. One day he makes a horrible mistake when he tries taking justice in his own hands and his actions end up sending him fleeing to another country. 

Son of a slave to a prince of Egypt to working as a humble shepherd in a distant land - God meets him there and shocks him with His invitation! He invites Moses to journey with Him to be a part of one of the greatest rescues in history! Moses doesn’t exactly jump with excitement; he is filled with doubt, all too aware of his own limitations and not at all focused on God and His abilities. He tells God no! But by the end of the conversation, he says yes and begins his journey of trusting God as the Lord worked through him. He thought his chance for making a difference was over, but God had other plans. 

The journey wasn’t always easy - there were lots of challenges - but Moses saw God remain faithful every time, and he came to know God. The Bible says he talked with God as one talks with a friend. Moses learned that saying yes to the journey meant saying yes to God. It was obedience, it was trust. It was being a part of something so much bigger than himself. 

As we serve the Lord in the ministry opportunities that He has given us, we are saying yes to Him. Yes to using the gifts and skills He has given us for His glory and the advancement of His Kingdom. Yes to the journey, one day at a time.
