Oftentimes in life, something will seem like the truth because it appears that one or so many others can do what God can do. It took 10 plagues before the Egyptian king realized that Moses God is God. Enjoy today’s Friday Post on “What is truth?”

There’s a scene in the 1956 film The Ten Commandments, starring Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner that signifies how God’s plans usually don’t involve glamor and fame- but if they do, God will use whatever He wills to bring about his perfect plans.

Continuing with the series: “Black Lives In The Bible,” we see Zipporah, a Black woman and the wife of Moses. We see through her brother-in-law and sister-in-law (Moses’ siblings), that through a situation they were racist towards her. And we see because of this situation God hates racism, as well as having His decisions challenged by man’s opinion. Racism is not a skin color issue, it’s a heart issue. In looking at the account of Moses’ siblings’ racism towards his wife, we see that the Hebrews were held back from moving forward, until Moses’ sister’s bad heart was sanctified and transformed. Racism doesn’t just hold back the racist, it holds back the subjugated as well.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “there are so many religions, who’s right and who’s wrong?” Or have you ever asked yourself, “because there are 40,000 Christian denominations, who is right and who is wrong?”

The Israelites from the time of their exit from Egypt to the death of Joshua knew oppression, they knew warfare, but, they also knew the importance of trusting and obeying God. God allowed other nations of people to live among the Israelites in the Promise Land. He didn’t wipe these various nations all out for 2 reasons: 1- So that that generation of Israelites would know how to fight… 2- To test them, to see if they would be obedient to Him. This week we’ll look at reason 1 and next week we’ll look at reason 2.

The life and journey of Moses is extremely fascinating. There is no denying that God’s hand was on his life. There’s so much to learn from the life of Moses, especially when it comes to leadership principles. But today Seele will focus on the topic: getting out of a slave mentality, specifically when you’re put in an environment you weren’t born into.

"It takes a long time to become a good woman, just like it takes a long time to become a good man. That older woman in your life that you see, admire and that’s oozing with wisdom, well, it took years for her to be that way..."

“What to do? Should I make a decision? Where should I go? Should I take this offer? .... Oh God, please speak!” We’ve all been there, standing at a crossroads asking God to make clear to us what we should do.
