God Writes A Better Story
THAN WE’D EVER WRITE FOR OURSELVES
In the story of your life, have you ever felt like there's a scene you just didn't belong in? A calling you believed was best reserved for someone else? Moses did as he tried to wrap his mind around going back to Egypt in order to bring Israel out. He looked at the script God handed to him and said, “There’s got to be someone else who could do this.” God said, “Go,” Moses said, “No,” and our human hero’s journey is off on the wrong foot. But this story has much to teach us about our own. Because every “no” from Moses gave rise to a “yes” about God. Everything Moses lacked was intended to show him more of who God is. And the same is true for us. In the story of our lives, God meets us just as we are and gives us grace for everything we aren’t. Even in spite of all our “nos,” all our doubts, all our inabilities and unfaithfulness, every good purpose God has for us will go forward because of that one man who said, “Yes. Not my will but yours be done.”
