Moses. The beginning of his story has two parts. As an infant, he escaped death by drowning to find a home in the palace of the king. The king who enslaved his people. In midlife, he reacted against the domination of Pharaoh and found freedom, family, and vocation in Midian. It seemed like "happily ever after." But God wasn't done with Moses. And God isn't done with you. Whether you find yourself leading a double life as Moses did walking the courts of Pharaoh in Hebrew skin. Or whether you find yourself in your own Midian, with a spouse, and family, and a 9 to 5 that puts food on your table. God still has plans for you. Midian wasn't the end of the story for Moses. And it isn't for you either. Because in Christ, you're meant to set people free, to lead people up the mountain, to feast on bread sent from heaven, and cross over Jordan with a multitude. In Christ, you're meant for glory. But it rarely comes without suffering.
