Exodus 4:27-31
S: vs. 30-31 "and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people, and they believed. And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped."
O: Wow... a simple example of Moses and Aaron obeying God. What resulted was God being glorified. When we obey God's will, He will be glorified and His people will be turned towards Him.
A: I need to listen to God. I need to obey His will always. I will see Him glorified.
P: O Lord, open the eyes of my heart. Please help me to hear You, even when I cannot hear myself think. Please help me to obey, and to know Your Word. Please increase my faith!
Thank you, Lord, for loving me!

BSF Lesson 4
Exodus 3:1-10
S- v4 "When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!"
O- From v1, Moses led his flock to Horeb, "the mountain of God". I have to guess that Moses was looking for God in his solitude. James 4:8 "Come near to God and He will come near to you."
A- I need to look for God... seek God.... in the daily grind. Pray always...
P- Father God, thank You that You come to us. I want to draw near to You. Please help me to look for you in all my circumstances.

BSF Lesson 3
Exodus 2:11-25
In this passage, I am struck at God's patience with us. God chose Moses as the deliverer of His people. Yet, Moses seemed to take matters into his own hands. Moses must have been a big and strong man to have killed an Egyptian. I see, though, that it is not mentioned in the text that Moses prayed to God first. He just came to the defense of the Hebrew. Here, I see Moses as passionate, self-reliant, self-righteous, and brave. Moses left all the wealth, education, and power to identify himself with the Jews. But, Moses had to leave the people he loved so much because Pharaoh wanted to kill him for killing an Egyptian.
So, Moses had to "do time" as an "alien residing in a foreign land" before he could be useful for God to deliver Israel.
How am I "doing time" for my self-reliance and disobedience?
