God Brings Us Through

 

By faith

Moses left Egypt,

not being afraid

    of the anger of the king,

for he endured as seeing Him

        who is invisible.

           Hebrews 11. 27

The plagues were not designed

just to change Pharoah's mind,

but to strengthen Moses' heart.

Moses was no longer afraid

   of what had previously

   paralyzed him.

He no longer said to God,

"You've got the wrong man,"

but now, "Let's roll."

In faith, Moses obeyed,

even in what had seemed

    impossible to him.

God forms something

    different in us too.

Obedience always brings us

to a deeper dimension 

    of trusting God

    and builds His endurance

    in us in extreme places.

Even when we don't understand,

God completes the unseen

and gives us His strength.

O LORD,

It is not for Moses' own courage

   that we remember him,

but for His obedience to You

in extenuating circumstances.

You call for us to go forth,

    but not alone.

               Not without You.

And You leave in the wake

 an enduring witness

  for thousands of years afterward.

Moses couldn't imagine that.

Neither can we.

Grant to us Your strength

   even in what we face today.

You bring us through.
