Last Thursday at Bible Study, our sister Ciana and brother Leon P. led us through Acts 7:30-33 and reminded us that Godâs vision is perfect vision, and Godâs timing is perfect timing.
In this passage, Stephen continues recounting the story of Moses. Forty years after Moses fled Egypt, God appeared to him in the wilderness through a burning bush. Moses was amazed by what he saw, but as he went closer, God called out to him and told him that he was standing on holy ground.
One of our biggest takeaways from the night was to be humble. Moses had once tried to step into what he thought God was calling him to do in his own way and his own timing. But years later, God met Moses and showed him that His plan had never changedâMoses just needed to learn how to follow Godâs lead instead of his own.
Sometimes we can get so caught up in saying, âGod, this isnât what I asked for,â that we miss the fact that God may be giving us exactly what we need. What God is doing may not look like what you pictured, happen when you expected, or come in the way you prayed forâbut Godâs vision is perfect vision. He sees what we canât see.
And the same is true about His timing. Moses may have thought his opportunity had passed, but God called him 40 years later. What felt delayed wasnât forgotten. God was still preparing Moses for the assignment He had for him.
Sometimes weâre so focused on how we expect God to show up that we miss the ways He is already present. Moses probably wasnât expecting to encounter God through a burning bush in the wilderness, but God was there.
So the questions we left with were:
How will you respond to the call?
Where are you so focused on how you expect God to show up that you may be missing how He is already present?
