Lent, 3rd Sunday (C) Moses is rescued from death by a mini-ark and is adopted by Pharaoh's daughter. When he witnesses injustice, he first tries to dominate and control, then he runs and hides. God meets him in the desert in the burning bush. He is terrified by the power of the Egyptian government, but he lets God lead him. His impossible mission is wildly successful.
We feel inadequate because we are inadequate. The world is too big for us and God asks us to do impossible things. We tend to respond by dominating and controlling or running and hiding. Instead, we can let God lead us. God sees you. God hears you. God knows well what you are suffering. And he has come down to free you from this land of slavery and lead you to a land flowing with milk and honey. Let him lead you.
(23 Mar 2025)
Going Deeper: Notice this week when people around you use dominating-and-controlling tactics or running-and-hiding to address their inadequacies. How would your life look different if you let God lead you in these situations?
