*A Place Of Encounter* by Charl Human
Exodus 2:11-22
Heb.11:24-26
Exodus Chapter 2 tells us that Moses went to live in Midian because he was fleeing from Pharaoh after killing an Egyptian. His misplaced sense of justice caused him to kill someone. As a result, he fled into the wilderness.
Moses spent the next forty years of his life living as a shepherd in the desert of Midian. That was the life he had settled for until the LORD caught his attention through a burning bush and gave him a second chance. That encounter would become a defining moment in his life.
Perhaps you may find yourself in a similar situation where past mistakes and wrongdoings have left you isolated in the wilderness. If you are in such a place, let the process take its course. Look beyond what has happened and be open to how God is trying to get your attention.
God has not given up on you. Allow this time in the wilderness to become a place of encounter and repositioning towards your God-given purpose.
Do you believe in second chances? Why?
What is God doing now in your life to get your attention? Make a list and pray over them.
The wilderness does not have to be a place of isolation. It can be a place of encounter.
