DAY 3 OF 7

DAY THREE

MOSES THE MURDERER

When we think of the story of Moses, we may think of many things. We may think of all the great work he did for God, leading the people of Israel out of slavery. His great faith and his leadership. We may even think of the early favor on his life, as he was spared as a young baby taken in by Pharaoh's daughter. We tend to shy away from the darker part of Moses' life. We don't talk much about Moses the murderer, but if we did, we would see the acts he would go on to commit for God as even greater acts. We would tell yet another great story of forgiveness and redemption for a man that society would have cast away.

God's ability to forgive the sin Moses committed allowed him to propel Moses into greater things, to rewrite his story. God not only forgave Moses, but he used Moses in a mighty way. He did not condemn Moses for his sin for the rest of his days and hold it over his head, but Moses did face consequences for his sin. Moses would lose the only family he had known and his position in Royalty. He would have to go on the run for years, living amongst foreigners, doing work that had previously been done for him. God would still be with Moses, even in his consequences, preparing him for leadership.

Moses would go on to become one of our most remembered leaders from the Bible. He would be remembered for his leadership, servantship, and his great faith. He would be remembered and honored because God forgave him and had a purpose greater than the sin he committed.

If you are struggling today to forgive yourself for a major sin, remember the whole story of Moses, remembering his sin is only a very small part of his story. Even as we sin, God forgives us and does not give up on us or cast us away. Repent of your sin, forgive yourself, and turn toward God, allow him to rewrite your story today.
