Look at God's work for Moses.

Exodus 2:23 to Exodus 4: 17, it is recorded that one day Moses herded sheep and came to Horeb. At this time, God called him, and God came to him and showed him a vision of thorns in the flame. God wants Moses to come out and take the Israelites out of Egypt. God wants Moses to serve him. When God called Moses to serve him, Moses refused four times. For the first time, Moses said to God, Who am I? Go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt? The second time, Moses said to God, "I went to the Israelites and told them that the God of your fathers sent me to you. If they ask me, what is his name? What should I say to them? " ? Moses answered God the third time, saying, They will not believe me or listen to me, but will say, The Lord has not appeared to you. The fourth time, Moses said to the Lord, Lord! I used to be speechless, even after you talked to your servant. I am all thumbs, so when God called Moses to serve, Moses refused four times. From these four refusals, we can see what kind of person Moses was after forty years of hard training in the wilderness of Midian. At the beginning, his youth, arrogance, blood and domineering were almost refined and almost gone. At this time, Moses became humble. At this time, Moses felt that he was nothing and could do nothing. We see that it took God 80 years to shape Moses. In the first 40 years, Moses was equipped with knowledge, knowledge and talent. In the second 40 years, he was carved to make his spirit mature. In this way, 80 years passed. Then, in the last 40 years, God called Moses to serve himself. At this time, Moses has become a very humble person.

At this time, Moses realized that man is limited and God is infinite. We can think about it. If God had called Moses to serve him in the palace 40 years ago, Moses' fiery temper at that time did not know what he would lead the Israelites into. If Israel complains, Moses will be like a tyrant, so it took God 40 years to defeat Moses' spirit. God really called Moses to serve him.

From this we can see that God depends not only on how much knowledge and ability he has, but also on whether he has a heart that fears God and a humble heart. People look at people by appearance, status, status, social status, academic qualifications, and God looks at people's hearts. Of course, Moses finally listened to God's call and willingly embarked on the road of serving God.

In the last 40 years, Moses became very humble and obedient, completely abandoning his arrogant and self-centered nature in his youth. In the third section of Numbers 12, he said that Moses was extremely modest and superior to all the people in the world. In the first half of Exodus 40, 16, he says: Moses did everything the Lord commanded him. We have proved that Moses was indeed a humble, gentle and obedient man. When Moses led Israel to walk in the wilderness, Moses faced numerous rebellions, complaints and attacks from Israel, but Moses always prayed for intercession before God with humility, gentleness and obedience.

Moses is an example to all the leaders of the church today. Moses was humble, gentle and obedient, and he did whatever God said. He listens to God, never licks or diminishes, and is absolutely loyal to God, regardless of his own losses. After Moses was called by God, he led the Israelites on the road in the wilderness for 40 years. During this period, he never dealt with difficulties in his own way. Moses did all that the LORD had said and commanded him. As the seventh verse of Numbers 12 says, the Lord says: My servant Moses is humble, gentle and obedient, so Moses is special and completely loyal to God. Let us understand here that if a person who serves God is not humble, gentle and disobedient, he will resist, resist and offend God while serving God. Therefore, it is very important for a person who serves God to have a humble, gentle and obedient heart, which is a prerequisite for serving God faithfully. But what about the use of people in today's church? Today, many churches in the world do not use people according to the principles of God or the Bible. Nowadays, there are many churches on the earth, and people are too casual. How can they be casual? As long as you see that this person is good-looking, or has a little knowledge, or has a little specialty, you will start to use this person. This is a big mistake. Although this person is good-looking, or a little knowledgeable, or a little special, but this person is too bloody. If this person is arrogant, but this person goes his own way, if this person is not loyal to God, if this person is not humble and disloyal, if the church promotes such a person to serve God, then there will be problems, and such a person is likely to disobey God. People who serve God with flesh and blood will be influenced by emotions in the process of serving God. When they are in a good mood, they will serve warmly, and when they are in a bad mood, they will faint with cold. Bloody and emotional people are as unpredictable as the weather changes. Such people are simply a disaster for the church.

Therefore, when the church uses people, don't forget that it is only when God calls people to use people first that the church can use people according to God's will. We must see that God comes first and man comes last, and this order cannot be reversed. Then how do you know that God called this man first? Use this man? If God uses a person, God will definitely make this person verified in front of everyone. This person will definitely have the ability to show the glory of God, and God will definitely make all people understand clearly. Today, churches on earth do not follow this principle when employing people. But walking in front of God, using people at will, using whoever you want, is a taboo for the church to use people; It's like being baptized, being baptized casually, and he won't come in less than two months. Before employing people, you must examine them carefully, make a long-term investigation and give them some tests when necessary. Just like God's trial of Moses in his second 40 years of life experience, only through trial can you see what a person's spiritual life is like, how loyal he is, and how humble he is.

When the church employs people, it must go through this process, so that the people elected by the church truly conform to God's will, which is the employment of the church. The church must not only look at this person's knowledge, knowledge, talent and level when employing people. It is not that the church does not attach importance to knowledge, knowledge, level and talent; It is important to serve God with talent, but more importantly, a person who serves God must have good spiritual conduct, superb spirituality, loyalty and insight, humility, gentleness and obedience.

Good spiritual conduct and superb spirituality should be put in the first place, and knowledge, knowledge and level should be put in the second place, which is also what the church says about employing people.

When he was young, Moses was very knowledgeable and proficient in business, but God just didn't need him? Why? Because Moses in his youth was immature, too bloody, too arrogant and too self-centered, God didn't need him. God first put Moses in the wilderness of Midian and put him to the test of God. After the trial, Moses' spiritual life was mature, rich, humble, gentle and obedient. The process and principle of God's employment should be imitated by the churches in the world today.

Moses' life span is 120 years. The first forty years were self-centered, the second forty years were glass refining, and the third forty years were serving God.

From Moses' life experience, every one of us who serves God should know that a person who serves God should get rid of his own blood, leave the self-centered life and stand the test of God. In this way, those who serve God can truly serve God with awe, humility, gentleness and obedience.
