Has God called you to an assignment?

Are you waiting on the right time, the right season, the right scenario?

Waiting on logic, ease, finances?

Are you waiting on God when He’s already sent you?

Is God waiting on you to accept the call?

The Lord spoke to my heart yesterday while I was getting ready and I felt like He said, “You must Go.”

Step out.

Go toward the assignment by starting.

I remembered the story of Peter stepping out of the boat. To see the miracle, he had to be willing to step onto the water, to do what seemed impossible and screamed failure.

I pondered Jeremiah and Ezekiel the prophets, how God called them, and gave them the assignment telling them what to do, and they had to decide on their own, that they would actually physically go.

But what I related to most was the story of Moses.

I tend to naturally take on his “surely you don’t mean me, Lord… there are many others who are better” mentality. So in reading the story to refresh my memory on this word, I noticed that after God had worked out all of Moses’ questions and contingencies that God felt needed answering, this verse stood out…

“So Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.””

Exodus 4:18 NKJV (emphasis mine)

Moses accepted the call, and he took a step.

Moses had to choose to believe in his heart what God said to him, that was his part.

Moses had to decide leave his now comfort zone of his life, to go back to Egypt.

Moses had killed a guy there, an Egyptian trying to protect God’s people. But his plan was premature and not in God’s way…

Moses had to go back to people who had heard or even maybe knew what he had done, and he had to face his past in some ways.

Have you noticed that God never brings up the murder Moses committed in their conversation in the desert in this passage? He never says, “Ok Moses, you killed this man and you shouldn’t have, once you ask for forgiveness, I’ll send you out….” No, He just talks to him. Not as if He ignoring it, just that it is irrelevant…

God did tell him that the men who wanted him dead were no longer there, and that was it.

“Now the Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.””
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do we ever let our past, our mistakes, our history disqualify us when God is mentioning nothing of it?

We make all kinds of reasons and doubts in our mind as to why it won’t work…

But Moses had God speaking to him, directing him specifically with assignments, but Moses still had to move his feet.

Talk to people.

Make connections to get in front of Pharaoh.

Take some risks.

Put himself out there.

He had to go.

I ask you today like God asked me…

Do you accept the call God has on your life?

Then you must go.
