Often we can not see what God has for us in the future. It can be frustrating at times, we know that we need to be trusting in him, and we do, yet at the same time we just want to know!!

I imagine Moses was quite the same way. Prince of Egypt, now cast to the back side of the desert. What a change in scenery. Can you imagine what must have been going through his head. He knew that he was an Israelite and he had even tried to help (in a completely wrong way), and now he was somewhere that would have no affect upon his people, or so he might have thought.

Moses’ Job was to tend a flock of sheep, lead them to water, guide them through the wilderness, making sure that they were taken care of. Does this sound familiar? This is exactly the task that Moses had to fulfill once the children of Israel left Egypt. Moses lead them to water (or better, through him water was provided by God), lead them through the wilderness, he had to make sure that they were taken care of!

Remember this lesson. Often times in life we may not understand why God has us where we are. Remember that we don’t know the completion of God’s plan, but God does. God may have you doing something now that you see no point for, yet in the future you may realize that he was training you for something very specific!
