The Challenge Of The 80 Year Old Man
Thursday, February 22, 2018
Moses went into the wilderness to avoid Egypt. Decades later at 80 years old, he encounters God. When you’re an 80-year-old Jewish man, you’d rather move to Miami and play bingo. But God told Moses to go to Egypt and deal with Pharaoh, the very center of his problem. It was only by dealing with the problem head-on, with the power of God to back him up, could he be free from the shadow that hung over him the past 40 years of his life. He would no doubt have rather gone to Miami, but the only way to free Israel was to go deal with Pharaoh instead. You can’t conquer your problem by running away from it. God didn’t call you to avoid but to conquer and overcome through the power of His Spirit. You’ve got a choice. You can try to live a comfortable life or live a victorious life. So go for victory! Go down and confront that problem head-on. God will be with you. Victory will come when you confront your Pharaoh and forget about the bingo.
From Message #603 - Approaching Ahasuerus
Scripture: 1Corinthians 15:57
TODAY'S MISSION - Today, confront that problem or challenge by the power of God and find your victory!
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
