Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him
Exodus 40:16 (HCSB)
Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
Moses wasn’t perfect. During his life he had his growing pains – his early life decisions that we know of leave some room for improvement…
But as Moses grew into the man God had called him to be, and whilst he still made some mistakes, he grew closer and closer to God. So close in fact, that he often wore a veil – as his face shone from being in God’s presence and the people couldn’t bear to look at him!
What was one of Moses’ Keys to success?
Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
He didn’t question, he didn’t complain, he didn’t decide that his way was a better way. In the next few paragraphs, we read 7 times Moses did just as the Lord commanded him.
Not once did he deviate from the plan. Not once did he decide to disobey, even in the smallest detail – but did everything just as the Lord had commanded him!
No, Moses wasn’t perfect, but he certainly did his best before God to do as he was called.
What about you?
This is one of those pearls that are super-powered by being simple. I have sat through many hour long discussion, that tried to say something similar, but the point was lost among all the extra words.
