TOPIC:God’s Leading
BIBLE READING: Exodus 3:7-14
At once they left their nets and followed him
MATTHEW 4:20
Recently, when I was getting ready to go to a university a couple of hours from home, I realised I probably wouldn’t ever move back. My mind raced. How could I leave home? My family? My church?
Just like Moses, when God told him to go “to Pharaoh to bring [His] people the Israelites out of Egypt” (Ex. 3:10), I was afraid. I didn’t want to leave my comfort zone. Yes, Moses followed God, but not before questioning Him and asking for someone else to go instead (vv.11-13; 4:13).
In Moses’ example, we can see what we shouldn’t do when we know God is changing things in our lives. We can instead try to be more like Jesus’ friends. When Jesus told them to follow Him, they left everything (Matt. 4:20-22; Luke 5:28). Fearing change is pretty normal, but we can trust God’s plan.
Being so far from home is still difficult for me. But I’m staying close to God. And the opportunities He’s been giving me show I’m in the right place.
When we are moved out of our comfort zone—like changing class or school—we can either fight against it, like Moses, or follow God wherever He leads us, like Jesus’ friends. No matter how difficult it may be, following Jesus is worth it.
KEY POINT: WE ARE NOT HERE TO BE COMFORTABLE—WE’RE HERE TO FOLLOW JESUS.
