At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.) Exodus 4:24-26 NIV
The moral of this story is that we can not for go spiritual order in lieu of the grand vision God has given us in our ministries or business. God was going to kill Moses because their was a matter of personal spiritual responsibility that for what ever reason went ignored as Moses was on his way to 'save the world' as instructed by God.
A leaders personal responsibilities to God, himself, and his family should never become secondary to the vision God has given him to accomplish.

Great lesson! So often we get caught up in living our life our way and only serving God when it’s convienent. We have to remember to have a Kingdom focused mind and that he will take care of the rest.
ReplyDeleteA life surrendered is a life well spent. It’s not always easy but God calls us to be still and KNOW He is God. He cant show up and show off if we can’t be still. Well He could but isn’t much better to stand in faith and watch Him move the mountains?! YES!
