Today's Passage: Exodus 7-8
I walk away from these passages usually with the same feeling every time: God is in control. Not only is God in control, but he also has a plan. In Exodus 7, God shows Moses how he will use Aaron, Pharaoh, and miracles. Then God begins the plagues to fulfill his plan. Every step of the way, God would guide Moses and often explain to Moses what to do in detail. Moses was not a particularly good speaker, so God gave him Aaron to be his mouthpiece. I'm just always amazed at the God we serve.
This passage reminds me of the discussion we had in Bible study on Sunday from Romans 12. We discussed how the Body of Christ works and how each one of us is gifted to serve God. This is seen here with Aaron and Moses, and how God gifted each one for a specific task. While there is much uncertainty in today's society due to economic problems, we can sit back and not worry because we serve the One who is in control. Our God who is in control has gifted each one of us to serve him. Each one of our gifts will build up the Body of Christ, and will be a witness to the world of how God designed the church. It is clear from the passage that God can use anything and anyone. If God can use plagues to fulfill his plan, then he can use anything!
