MOSES - BOOT CAMP

I’ve known a few people who have made it into the Army, but to get there each one of them has had to pass the physical fitness test and that test has meant a lot of training in preparation so that they can get through. Running a certain distance in a certain time carrying packs of your own body weight takes some doing, but do it they do so that they are ready for the next step.

How much are we prepared to go through in order to be ready for the next step?

Moses seemed to have what it takes to keep going, to get through and be available for the next step. He never seemed in a hurry, never seemed to get bitter, understood that there were consequences to his actions – good and bad – and even the total disappointment of not being able to go into the ‘Promised Land’ didn’t stop him trusting his good, old friend, God.

That’s a solid, secure character. That’s someone who understands that 40 years of preparation and 40 years of preparation and 40 years of preparation, gets you ready for eternity.

Pick it up!

Meekness can only exist where great strength is under strict control! Waiting, being obedient, waiting, leading, waiting, coping with frustration, living with disappointment, wandering, dying. That’s Moses, ‘possibly the most humble man that ever lived; an example of power in meekness.’ (Carl Beech) I’m not going to argue with that.

Pick your load up and let’s get in training for even greater things ahead.
