How do you fulfill a promise God gave you? The night I got baptized, I felt like God told me in my spirit, "You're going to meet your wife here, you're going to build your family here, and be a part of this church." Now, did I know it was 100% God telling me that? No, but I believed it to be true. And this morning I realized there's a very similar situation in the Bible. Before Moses came around, God made a promise to one of his ancestors in a dream. And in this dream, the Lord said to Abram, "Know for certain that for 400 years, your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated there. But, I will punish the nation they serve as slaves. And afterward, they will come out with great possessions." Fast forward to Moses. The Israelites have now been living in Egypt for 390 years. Moses here is an Israelite, one of the descendants that God talked about in that dream, but has been raised by the people oppressing them. And while visiting his people, the Israelites, one day, the Bible says he saw one of them being mistreated by an Egyptian, the people oppressing them. And Moses would have known God said around 400 years, he would punish the people oppressing them and save them. So, maybe Moses thinks God wants me to take action. It's time. So, he went to his defense and avenged him by killing the Egyptian. Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them. But, they did not. Moses tried to take God's promise into his own hands. When I felt like God told me he was going to give me a wife, I started looking around, but something didn't feel right. And when Moses realized his mistake, it says he fled to Midian, where he settled as a foreigner and had two sons. 40 years later, Moses is now 80, probably thinking he misunderstood God's promise. But, then one day, God appears to him in a burning bush, saying he's heard the cry of his people, he's going to set them free, and he wants to use Moses to do it. And Moses gives all these excuses, because remember, he's tried this before, but it wasn't his own terms. Now, God is asking him to obey him, following his ways to see the promise fulfilled. So, thankfully, before I started chasing after relationships, God told me he wanted me to commit to not kissing anybody until my wedding day. Completely my decision, and no promise of when it would happen, simply an opportunity to obey him right now. And I did. And Moses did, with some resistance, of course. But that same year, Moses and his brother Aaron did just as the Lord commanded them. Moses was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 when they spoke to Pharaoh. The Bible says, "At the end of the 430 years, all the Lord's divisions left Egypt." Moses was rushing it at 390 years, but we see God fulfill it at 430 years when they obeyed God and did it God's way. Sometimes we can miss the thing that God is calling us to do because we're trying to rush it. What's funny is committing God I will not kiss anyone until my wedding day. I met my wife through the church, kissed for the first time on our wedding day within 1 year of doing it God's way. Now, is that going to be how it works for everybody? No. God just wants us to come to him, process with him, obey the step he's giving us right now, and trust him with the timing. How do you fulfill the promise God gave you? Is remembering it's not our promise to fulfill, it's God's. And he simply asks us to be obedient to his words and hear the nudges he gives us through the Holy Spirit, which we receive when we become Christians, and that's it. I'd love to know, what do you feel called to be obedient in today? Let's keep praying for each other today, friends. God bless.
