We all have a choice to move towards God or away from Him. When Moses moved towards God in the Horeb desert, he was given a mission to deliver Israel from Egyptian bondage. If the last 39 years of his life in the desert didn't make sense, hindsight makes clear that God had been preparing Moses for just this task from the moment of his birth. In the figurative deserts of our own lives, God calls us, able to use the stuff of our lives. The only quality He looks for, as He did with Moses, is brokenness. ( notes)
