Exodus 18:8 Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had beset them on the way, and how the Lord had delivered them.
We struggle sometimes to come up with the right words to use when we want to tell others about our faith, when we want to do some faith-sharing or evangelism. Moses was one who struggled with words. You may remember that when God first called him to go to Egypt and talk to Pharaoh, Moses resisted saying he wasn't a good public speaker. But Moses found the words when he had a story to tell. Moses had an amazing story to tell about God's power and God's faithfulness.
So do you. God has given you life out of death. God has given you hope out of fear. God has brought light into your darkness. You have a story to tell. Your story is different than Moses' story and it's different than my story, but you've got one.
Once we've got the story, sometimes we struggle with an audience. With whom do we want to share our faith? Who around us might benefit from hearing the story? Here Moses is a great example as well: notice Moses tells the story to his own father-in-law. Faith-sharing often starts very close to home. So what's your story? And who might benefit from hearing it?
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
