Exodus 4:27 The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he met Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him.
Three days ago, when I compared Aaron to an albatross around Moses’s neck, a dear friend reminded me that in God’s master plan, Aaron is more than just a back-up plan, more than just an obstacle for Moses. And, honestly, I needed the reminder. I’m bad to look at a situation from only one angle at times.
Exodus 4:28 Then Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say, and also about all the signs he had commanded him to perform.
In this situation, Aaron is going to prove to be a hindrance to Moses, but in God’s master plan, Aaron has an important role. Isn’t that the truth for all of us? We can be hindrances, stumbling blocks at times, but there is good in us, God can and will and does use us if we allow.
Exodus 4:29-30 Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites, and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people,
God of the misfits, Thank You that You know my faults and flaws, You know the ways in which I can be a hindrance, and yet Yet choose to use me anyway. Help me not to discount others because of their flaws, just as You don’t discount me because of mine. Help me, Jesus. Amen.
Exodus 4:31 and they believed. And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.
Have a blessed day.
