Wow, not a single guess. I bet there are some people out there that know the answer, but just chose not to post a comment. Just in case any of you didn’t know the man in our story is Moses. That’s right, Moses was adopted by Egyptian royalty, grew up in there home as one of their own. Then one day as Moses was walking he saw an Egyptian beating a Israelite. This enraged Moses and he killed the Egyptian and buried him in the sand to hide his crime. This is the same Moses that went on to lead the nation of Isreal out of captivity, recieve the 10 commandments, part the Red Sea and write the first 5 books of the bible.

So, God could take a man that was not even rasied by his biological parents, infact raised by the very people that had enslaved his own people; a man that would later become a murderer, and turn him into one of the most influential people in the world. The influence of Moses is still felt today; whether it is the 10 commandments hanging on the wall in the Supreme Court, or his writings in the millions upon millions of bibles that have been printed.

If you think you see an emerging trend in Story Time, you are correct. The Bible says, in Romans 3:23, “…for ALL HAVE SINNED and fall short of the glory of God.” I hope that through Story Time you might see that not only can God save you, regardless of how you have sinned, he can use you to do a mighty work. Many people would rank murder among the top of their bad list, Christian or not. Yet God took a Murderer, Moses, and used him to do such increadible things. The enemy would have us believe that there are certain sins that can’t be forgiven. That we have, somehow, been to bad for God to even forgive us, much less use us. And even if we don’t feel our sin is too bad to be forgiven, the enemy wants us to believe that we could never be used by God.

My goal here is to show that while the people in the Bible did amazing things for God, they were just normal, flawed people like me and you. And, if God can use them, he can use you and me as well.
