Psalm 27

Comments:

What image comes to your mind when you think of Moses? Charlton Heston on the epic movie “The Ten Commandments”? Maybe the cartoon “The Prince of Egypt” which was made in the late 1990s? What happens when we study our heroes closer?

We see that Moses very easily could have been killed as a baby boy. We also see that Moses killed an Egyptian. We would call him a murderer? Today, we want our murderers to be locked up forever, if not put to death by lethal injection. Moses was a murderer, who runs away. He is a fugitive. He becomes a shepherd, marries, and starts a family.

But God will use Moses in something very incredible. God does not use “perfect” people. God uses ordinary people just like you and me. And sometimes God even uses very imperfect people.
