And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. Exodus 3: 3-4 KJV
A lot of us find ourselves in a position or place that we are not meant to be. Where we are and the situation we are in are not what we expected or anticipated. What we have, where we are and what is happening in our life is nowhere near what we had dreamed about. Our marriage, job or career choice, relationships haven’t turned out like we had planned it. So we find ourselves in a position where we are stuck; not able to go forward or backward.
Why are we stuck? Most of us at one point or the other made a life changing mistake or make some choices that changed the course of our life. The choices we make growing up can change entirely the course of our life and God’s program for our life.
Know this day that God is ready to fight for you and to cause a change in your life. The solution is not to belabor the past and our mistakes but to look forward and seek to reprogram our life to the right path.
I tell you today that you are not going to take the wrong turn. This is why as parents we are to be attentive to our children and the changes in their life. We need to pay attention to our children, we need to be observant to the changes in their life.
He suddenly realized that his life is on the wrong program. The challenge in life is that some people do not know they are in the wrong program. They believe and accept the place where they find themselves. They accept the wrong program for their life and conclude that that is the best they can do and can be.
A lack of knowledge. Illiteracy in high and low places. People are not able to stand on their own and hold people around them and in position of leadership accountable. They fail to know that where they are is not where they are supposed to be. Hosea 4: 6.
We must be determined and desperate to change where we are. We must not allow our life to go into mediocrity. As long as we accept the situation of our life as it is we will remain there. God needs our co-operation; He needs our participation to change our life.
We must put our foot down and work towards a change in our life, in where we are. In Genesis 40: 12-15, we read of Joseph working to reprogram his life. As we look to God for a change in our life, God will put us in remembrance of the person who will be used to transform our life.
The good news is that God is able and willing to reprogram your life to be on the right track, on the right path. He will enter into your life (if you allow him and ask Him) and make a U-turn that will put you on the path that allows your life to be filled with goodness, joy and success.
Like Moses we need to turn aside and see why things are the way they are. It is after Moses decided to turn aside that He called him out of the program that his life was in and into the program his life was created to be.
