MY FATHER, MY LORD, I AM LOST (2)

We’ve all had several great decisions in our lifetime, some went well, some went wrong; some are worth celebrating while others are worth complaining or regretting; some were done with fear, some with boldness, and some without having any better alternative. The results of all these decisions are important lessons for us individually and that is what is called experience. it is very certain that we will continue to make decisions and live by such decisions. God who in His love and power gave us the power for a freewill will guide us from now on as we use that power of freewill to make decisions that will affect us now and in the future. My prayer is that God in His love and power will help us out of every untold hardship that came as a result of our past bad decisions, all the untold and unimaginable troubles, and the suffering that came with it. God will help us, He will not leave us there indefinitely, He will not abandon us there, and He will not forsake us because of those decisions. In every situation, God always makes ways for those who deliberately put their hearts and eyes, and expectations on Him, He will help His children.

Decisions are powerful but we often fail to have the full knowledge and the full picture of what the result may be, what the future will be, and what the impact will be. This is so because of our inability to know the future despite our level of wisdom, education, position, and wealth, but I am grateful to have the God who is above all my mistakes, above all my fears, and above all wrong decisions in life, who will single-handedly help me and take me through and keep me in the place He had designed and prepared for my future in Him. God, He will help us.

When decisions go wrong, we are lost; when expectation fails, we are lost, when the result is not as expected after doing our very best according to our knowledge, understanding and ability, we are lost. When what we take in is far less than what we gave out, we are lost. There are several situations that cause our being lost, but glory to God, there is no situation too tough that He cannot and will not deliver us by His power. That was the situation with Moses; after having pretty forty years in the palace now finds himself living in the forest and doing what he never thought he would ever do in life. Lost in his thoughts and confused on what next to do in life, yet his heart was still with God with his expectations that God will help him, and God did. When Moses was lost in thoughts and ideas on what next to do, he took on being a servant and was assigned to keep and feed sheep, but in that same lost situation, God showed up and took him from serving man, to serving Him. He made him a leader, a commander, and a comforter to the children of Israel in their days in captivity in need of freedom and security.“One day while Moses was taking care of the sheep and goats of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, he led the flock across the desert and came to Sinai, the holy mountain. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him as a flame coming from the middle of a bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire but that it was not burning up. This is strange, he thought. Why isn't the bush burning up? I will go closer and see. When the Lord saw that Moses was coming closer, He called to him from the middle of the bush and said, Moses! Moses. He answered, yes here I am. God said, do not come any closer. Take off your sandals, because you are standing on Holy ground. I am the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So Moses covered his face because he was afraid to look at God. Then the Lord said, I have seen how cruelly my people are being treated in Egypt, I have heard them cry out to be rescued from their slave drivers. I know all about their sufferings, and so I have come down to rescue them from the Egyptians and to bring them out of Egypt to a spacious land, one which is rich and fertile and in which the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites now live. I have indeed heard the cry of my people, and I see how the Egyptians are oppressing them. Now I am sending you to the king of Egypt so that you can lead my people out of his country.” Exodus 3:1-10.
