Moses and Leadership

I am currently reading and studying the life of Moses.  Here's something God spoke to me about through His Word!

Exodus 2 Moses was born into some very unfortunate circumstances.

Exodus 3:3 Moses TURNED ASIDE to look at the burning bush. Why because he wanted to see this great sight.

When you think about your life and how you were raised, do you ever wish you were born in different circumstances? Do you ever begin to despise the way you were raised and the quality of home life you had? I know for me, that when I read the life of Moses, I am blown away at how God used a young man that had all, I mean ALL the odds stacked against him. There are some of you that need to stop comparing yourself to others and start thanking God for who He made you to be. My friend Ed Young Jr. says, "U B U". I am learning to be comfortable with who I am. Then more I am myself, the more God uses me.


Exodus 3:7 The Lord was going Egypt to deliver the people from their taskmasters. What taskmasters do I have in my life? God cares!!!!
Now here is the part that rocked my world. The Lord was going to deliver the children of Israel from what? Their taskmasters. That is what God was going to rescue them from. God spoke to me and said, "What is your taskmaster?" I know that all of us have different taskmasters. The taskmaster of debt, pornography, laziness, gossip, addictions, over eating, anger. What is your taskmaster and when will you begin to deal with it???

If I am a leader and I don't deal with my taskmaster, then I will eventually be mastered by it.
