God’s Purposes Can Often Be to Change Us Rather Than Our Circumstances.
The following was added today to this website section entitled “Lessons Learned”.
We know that God has specific plans for our lives and knows in advance what we have to experience, both positive and negative. God told Moses in advance that Moses was to specifically lead Israel out of bondage. Yet Moses loudly proclaimed his weaknesses to God basically saying, “I can’t do this, You need to find someone else.” But as we know, Moses’ and Israel’s circumstances did not change but God changed Moses by showing him a series of examples of God’s power. So while our own personal circumstances may not change, God may use other people, methods, events and especially His Word to change us, “perfecting” us for any task we need to accomplish according to His will.
