When the children of Israel originally went down into Egypt is was for a good thing. God sent them there to save them from a famine that was coming. What began as a blessing of rescue from famine degenerated into a life of bondage and oppression.
God heard the cries of his chosen children and sent deliverance through a human instrument named Moses. He used Moses to lead them out of bondage.
When I first came to Christ it was at a small country church and originally was a good thing. God sent me there to rescue me from His judgment that was coming. But just as the children of Israel, what began as a blessing of rescue degenerated into a life of bondage and oppression. Man’s opinions were cloaked and preached as though they were God’s doctrine. In a word, Legalism.
Also, like the children of Israel, He heard the cries of his child.
He heard my cries. I am His chosen child.
I knew I needed deliverance to get out of where I was and I asked God to send someone. I asked for God to send me someone who could lead me out of my mental bondage that resulted from spending years in a legalistic system. I pleaded for a woman who would be a mentor and a friend.

And you know what?
God answered me.
Several different unrelated people gave me the same woman’s name.
You can’t deny that God was at work.
God sent a human instrument, a Moses, to lead me out of my bondage, a bondage of clinical depression that resulted from legalistic thinking, and there was no mistaking it.

You know what was so wonderful about knowing that she is exactly who God sent?
I could trust her completely because in trusting her, I was trusting God.
It made hearing hard words and taking advice so much easier. It removed fear, doubt and questioning of motives because I could trust that she was there to help me not hurt me.
What a relief!
Is there something you need to be rescued from?
Ever think of asking God to send you someone to guide you through it?
Ask God to send you a Moses.
He will.
