Allow the seed to take root.


Acts 7:25 "Moses assumed his brothers would realize that God had sent him to rescue them"
There was something in Moses that gave him the assurance that he was going to be the rescuer of Israel. Something deep inside was telling him that this was his purpose in life. I believe that we all have something inside of us where we know that there is a purpose to our life.
One of the challenges, though, is that we go through the same thing that Moses went through. After his encounter in Acts 7 he finds himself fleeing to another land and spending 40 years living a different life. A life where he is not rescuing Israel from the hands of the Egyptians. He finds it so odd that he calls his son Gershom. Which means "I have been a stranger in a foreign land."
I think that alot of us can relate to this. We know that there is more to life than what we are experiencing. It is like we are living in a strange foreign land.
Let me encourage you with this. Just as a seed needs to be put into the ground in order to germinate and become what that seed is designed to be. So must we be put to the dirt in order for us to become what God has called us to be. I don't mean to be cruel. I'm just saying that most times there is some time between when we have that spark of desire and when it begins to happen. Alot of times we are not ready for what God wants to do through us so we need time to allow some roots to form and a healthy germination to take place before we can spring forth and be who God call us to be.
The beauty is that if we allow this process to take place and and then spring forth from the ground with a strong footing then there will be nothing that can stop us. We will see the impossible happen in our lives. If you read Hebrews 11 it talks of what it was like for Moses after his time "in the ground" When he came back to lead the people out, then there was nothing but miracles and life changing experiences and he did rescue the Israelite people just as he thought he would.
God has great things for you in this life. Allow the moulding to take place and you will see those great things come to pass.
Rom 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose."
